A brisk, shadowy Renaissance conspiracy thriller with swordplay and family stakes, feeling like a live-action prologue to a video game.

What he uncovers implicates Italy's most powerful families reaching all the way back to the Vatican itself. As Giovanni draws closer to the truth, he becomes hunted himself. He must expose the conspirators before he joins their ever-growing list of victims. Three short films based on the Assassin's Creed II video game.
