After ten bloody years, the war is over. Troy is now a heap of smoldering ruins, and the victorious Greeks fill their ships with the spoils of the sack. Among them, the captured women, such as the prophetess Cassandra, now concubine of King Agamemnon and besieged by ominous visions, and her maid Ritsa. Meanwhile, Queen Clytemnestra, wife of Agamemnon, awaits the return of the fleet in Mycenae. With her heart broken by her husband's decision to sacrifice their daughter Iphigenia to the gods, she has spent a long decade plotting her revenge. The only certainty is that the longed-for homecoming will forever change everyone's destiny.
