SYNOPSIS: Exiled from Rome, fleeing a charge of murder, the foremost artist of the counter-reformation is on a quest to return with a noble title and resurrect his career. However, when Caravaggio is accepted as an aspirant to the legendary order of the Knights of Malta, he becomes a pawn in a plot to overthrow the Grand Master of the Knights.
