Saul of Tarsus hunts the followers of Jesus, approves as Stephen is stoned and drags believers from their homes. Yet God chooses the persecutor. An epic of violence, guilt and the nightmares that follow him to the road to Damascus.

The night Jesus is born, another child named Yeshua is born upstairs in the same inn: a marked twin his mother calls son of the father. Raised in Herod's fighting pits beside his brother Judas, he becomes the name the crowd will scream.

Herod gives the order, and his tax master walks through Bethlehem with snakes at his feet. Elizabeth runs into the canyons with her newborn son. Years later on the Sea of Galilee, two fishermen's boys watch the same man take their father's catch, and the sky answers them.
