On this day of August 24 in the year 79, for the inhabitants of Pompeii, it is the end of the world. After a sleep of several centuries, Vesuvius erupts and is unleashed, spewing tons of ash, stones and lava on the city for more than 24 hours.
Two young 13-year-old thugs, Julius and Alexandre, caught in the heart of the cataclysm, try to escape the wrath of the volcano with the help of Barbus Fortus, the greatest gladiator in southern Italy, and Joel, a young and strange Christian whom they meet in the amphitheater prison. But the earth continues to tremble, the walls to fall, the flaming stones to rain, and the lava flow rushes towards the walls of the city at high speed, leaving behind only ruins and fires. Hurry up! To survive, they will have to show a lot of daring, courage and intuition.
Throughout the ages and civilizations, Joël accomplishes different missions, including protecting children. With the appearance he gives himself, a dark complexion, straight black hair, and blue eyes like the sky, he is far from going unnoticed. But who could guess what it really is?
