Set during the Peloponnesian War, Athens and Sparta are battling their differences. While the leader of Sparta argues uncompromisingly with the leader of Athens, the Spartan leader's son, Andreas, is sent on a mission to steal supplies from Athens, unarmed. While running through the capital of Greece, he meets Athens' finest archer, Alexi. Believing that an unarmed man should not be killed, Alexi decides not to shoot the arrow he had aimed at the Spartan.
But when troubles of trusting a Spartan arise, Alexi finds himself in a predicament that will change the course of his life forever, especially when the two start to develop an unexpected romance the more time they spend together. But with Andreas being Spartan and Alexi being Athenian, how will the two come to love while their cities are at war?
Their predicament only grows more complicated when the elderly Athenian leader offers the lead position to one of his most trusted soldiers, Alexi, to lead Athens into victory and stop the war once and for all. Will Alexi accept this fortunate opportunity? Or will conflict of interest initiate Athens' path to downfall?
