Through preparing the work, Leonardo recognises himself in another troubled soul, the young duke of Milan, Gian Galeazzo Sforza, and puts trust in an unexpected source, a young, but resourceful thief called Salaì.

Desperate to protect those closest to him, Leonardo finds himself in a race against time with a costly decision to make.
