A passionate tale of love, betrayal and revolution unfolds in nineteenth-century Italy, where a young seminary student's crisis of faith leads him down a path of radical political action. When disillusionment with the Catholic Church transforms him into a fiery revolutionary known as the Gadfly-he must confront not only the oppressive forces of church and state but also the painful secrets of his own past.
