We pick up our story after the death of Germanicus. The family comes back to Rome and is soon swept up in the turmoil, plotting, and ruthless aggression of men jockeying for position in the power vacuum created by Tiberius' unclear direction and ultimate retreat from Rome. Tragedy is unfortunately far from over.
