In ancient Ugarit, Syria, around 1450 BC, young Lea, from a family of winegrowers, is forced to flee her home in Jericho due to the Egyptian invasion. Despite being considered too old to marry, a wealthy shipbuilder named Jotam asks for her hand. However, Lea publicly rejects him, unleashing Jotam's thirst for revenge. The arrival of the scribe Daveed at Lea's house marks the beginning of a strong attraction between them. Although their relationship seems impossible, since Daveed is focused on joining the Scribes Brotherhood and Lea is dedicated to the study of healing plants, they must join forces to save Lea's family from misery and face a new Egyptian invasion. A story of love, betrayal and revenge in an era of profound social change.
