As Christianity replaces the era of corruption and immorality that marked Nero's Rome, Quo Vadis tells the stories of: Vinicius, the proud centurion who has fallen deeply in love with Lygia, a mysterious young woman who disappears the night they meet; Petronius, Vinicius' uncle, an elegant, witty courtier who scoffs at love and religion; and Nero himself, enemy of all Christians, the despotic emperor who plunges Rome deeper and deeper into depravity with the staggering decadence of his banquets and his mad laughter echoes in the amphitheater as gladiators duel to the death. As Nero's appalling plans for the Christians become ever clearer, time appears to be running out for the young lovers. Vinicius must come to understand the true meaning of Ligia's religion before it is too late.
