Summary

In one life-changing moment, the lives of the Jewish exiles in Babylon are thrown into confusion and despair when a decree arrives from the king's palace in Susa. It calls for the annihilation of every Jewish man, woman, and child throughout the empire on the thirteenth day of Adar, in less than one year. Ezra, a quiet Jewish scholar and teacher, is suddenly called upon to lead the community as they seek God for a reason for this catastrophe. Forced to rally an army when all his training has been in the Torah, Ezra struggles to bring hope in a time of utter despair, when dreams of the future -- of family and love -- seem impossible
