Strong-willed and determined to break away from societal norms that limit women to being wives and mothers, she longs for freedom. However, her rejection of a marriage proposal from family friend Ephraim leads her brother Daniel and father Elisha to believe she is possessed by a demon. As a result, they arrange an exorcism.

He notices that Jesus pays more attention to Mary as they make their way to Jerusalem. Together, Jesus and his apostles work to spread a message against the Roman Empire and Jewish authorities. However, events quickly take a dramatic turn against Jesus. The confrontation between Mary and Peter not only changes them both, but will have a profound impact on the entire world.
