Aunque nadie podía imaginárselo, Octavio, el pequeño hijo de Atia, sobrina de Julio César, emprenderá un complicado viaje hacia la madurez y hacia el lugar que le corresponde en la historia. En una época de guerra civil y traiciones, los personajes más influyentes de su tiempo deciden el destino de Roma y su eterno poder.
