Despite being King Ahaz's second son, Hezekiah is nevertheless subjected to his father's corrupt efforts to win over the idol Molech. At the base of Molech's altar, Hezekiah confronts Yahweh, the one true God of his royal genealogy, for the first time, feeling terrified and helpless.
However, a number of men have a bad influence on his path to the Holy One: Shebna, the Egyptian scholar who mentors Hezekiah, Uriah, the High Priest whose thirst for power drives him to betray the faith he preaches, and Zechariah, a drunken grandfather of noble standing.
The definition of love—and its selfless essence—will guide the lives of the two ladies who adore Hezekiah and influence the young prince's destiny.
