Plot

In the ancient city-state of Croton, one of Pythagoras' disciples, Diodorus, is found dead. Ariston, his younger brother, resigns from the council of nobles and joins Pythagoras as a disciple to find out the cause of his brother’s death and catch the killer. But Pythagorus and his disciples are hiding something, and try to cover up the death as suicide. Disappointed by the depravity of the Pythagorean school, Ariston decides to investigate his brother’s death on his own.
