In present-day Cambridge, Abi, recently ordained to the Church of England and appointed to a notoriously difficult parish, begins to see visions. Soon, a story begins to play out before her of a family of Roman traders and of a soldier working for Herod, ancient king of Galilee. The soldier's mission is to find and kill an apparently innocuous travelling scholar - along with any witnesses. But the danger isn't restricted to the past. As Abi begins to suspect the true identity of the scholar, she must face not only her fundamentalist superiors but the sense that she is being shown these visions for a reason.
