Doomed to an eternal existence, he grapples with insatiable hungers and searing memories of his past, particularly his passionate connection to Cleopatra. Drawn to the alluring heiress Julie Stratford, Ramses finds his cursed immortality pulling him toward a catastrophic destiny. His undying longing for his lost queen threatens to unleash a danger that will imperil all those in his orbit.
