All your life, you dreamed about the City of God.
Now that you're there, you want to go home.
But you can't.
Your name is Rivka Meyers, and you are a total misfit.
You time-traveled from 21st century Jerusalem back to the year AD 57. Misfit.
You're a woman living in a culture where men buy their wives. Misfit.
You married the man who followed you back in time, but you're a Christian, and he's Jewish. Misfit.
You have a photographic memory, and that's your curse. Because you read all the history books and you know what's coming. Disaster for the City of God.
There's an old man in this city you love. He's kind to everyone. He treats you like a human. Even though you're a woman. And you know he's going to die.
Because you read his story in the history books. He is James, the brother of Jesus of Nazareth. The leader of the Jesus Movement in Jerusalem. And in the year AD 62, he's going to be murdered by the same family of priests who hounded Jesus to the cross.
This man James has five years to live. You know very well you can't change the future.
Your husband, Ari Kazan, is a physicist who tells you every day you can't change the future.
But it's your moral duty to change the future.
You are a stubborn cuss. Always have been. Always will be.
If there's a way to get around the laws of physics, you're going to find it.
Because you love James with your whole heart.
You would rather die than let him be murdered.
You may just get your wish.
