Set in 15th century Europe, where heresy is met with burning at the stake, Rafal, a young intellectual slated for early entry into theological studies, values Reason above all else. His deep conviction that Earth orbits the Sun leads him straight into the hands of the Inquisition. A decade later, two members of the Watch Guild, the earnest Oczy and the cynical Gras, come across a hidden stone chest containing Rafal's writings about the cosmos. They must choose whether to take the risk of selling these banned documents to change their fates or confront the danger of the stake and flames.
