Caravaggio's Crossing

Freed by bribe from fortress cell, Caravaggio rides for Rome. The painter hopes to deliver atoning gifts to the highest clergy. He hopes to end his long years of exile, his flight begun by deadly court duel. He hopes to restore his name, shock the world with great new works, and walk again in highest gardens. But Caravaggio falls ill in the seaport of Ercole. Though tended by the monks of San Sebastiano, the painter fades from life in infirmary bed, his blankets soaked with fever sweat. The prayers of blind Brother Simeon and young Brother Paolo are not answered. Caravaggio leaves this world. And crosses over. He will be torn by the vying of demon and angel. He will cross the darkest abyss. He will rise from the sea of unborn souls. He will wander strange worlds beyond final star. Caravaggio, artist and killer, will search for path home.
