In 1610 in Italy, Michelangelo Merisi, better known as Caravaggio, is considered a brilliant artist. He opposes church dogma, which dictates how religious subjects should be depicted in art. When Pope Paul V learns that Caravaggio uses prostitutes, thieves and vagabonds as models for his paintings, he orders an investigation into the artist by the Vatican secret service. The results of the investigation will determine whether Caravaggio's request to be pardoned from his death sentence for the murder of a rival will succeed. The lead investigator, known as "Shadow", reveals the contradictory vices and virtues of Caravaggio.
