18 years after the tragic events of Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus, political upheaval again threatens the fragile stability of Rome. The remaining members of the Andronicus family: aged Senator Marcus, his ambitious nephew Lucius the Younger, and Terminus (the son of Aaron the Moor and Tamora, Queen of the Goths) that Marcus has raised in his home from birth. When Emperor Lucius is murdered, Terminus' loyalty to Rome and the Andronicus family is questioned. Will Terminus be able to break the cycle of revenge, or will the tragic madness of the Andronicus line emerge again in this new generation?
