In a desperate attempt to save her lover, a virgin lands up in the life of a virtuous man, who preserves his probity as doggedly, but fetters of fate compel them to make compromises that forfeit what they treasure the most. Sarah barters her honour for the sake of her love and Samuel accepts ignominy as the price of power. The similitude in their suffering is mirrored in the agony they endure for the wrongs of others while justice stands circumvented by the sinners who sit in judgement and allow vice to prevail over virtue until evil meets its nemesis. Embittered by the torturous twists of destiny, Sarah consigns herself to oblivion while Samuel turns to a monk, who counsels him to renounce the world and seek salvation. In a sudden epiphany, Samuel redefines salvation and proceeds on a path that is preserved for posterity!
