43 BC. The Roman Republic is at the point of collapse. Civil war looms. Julius Caesar has been assassinated. His heir Octavian and the corrupt demagogue Mark Antony set about making themselves the new rulers of Rome. Marcus Brutus, lifting his bloodstained dagger after the assassination, calls upon Cicero to restore the Republic. All eyes now look to the revered elder statesman, lawyer and orator to lead a last stand against tyranny.
