In 16th-century Europe, two orphaned friends navigate the treacherous landscape of the Inquisition, their paths diverging as they face challenges that threaten to break their bond of loyalty.

Two friends, Martin and Georg, formed a lifelong bond in 16th-century Europe during the Inquisition. While they grew up together as orphans, their paths diverged as adults. Georg pursued a life in the church, while Martin became a skilled army captain. When Martin is tasked with carrying out executions, he is forced to confront a difficult choice between his friendship with Georg and his duty to the church.
