47 BC. - Disowned by his father Julius Caesar, Ptolemy XV, who will go down in history as Caesarion, grows up in the shadow
of his mother Cleopatra and her new consort, Marcus Antonius. The pain of that discovery is partly
eased by the certainty that one day he will be the one to reign unchallenged over Egypt. But when everything falls apart and
Augustus, Caesar's true chosen one, sets out to conquer Egypt Cleopatra forces him to seek
shelter outside of the kingdom. Tired of the family situation and frustrated by his powerlessness, Ptolemy decides to
disobey and flee, ending up in a completely different reality from the one in which he grew up.
Meanwhile, in Rome, there is someone else struggling with his own feelings.
