16th Century Europe - Christianity is at war, counter-reformation follows reformation and the founder of the Jesuits, Ignatius of Loyola enters Rome as a radical reformer. Inigo follows the life of the Basque born nobleman and Christian revolutionary from ambitious hot-headed, street fighting hedonist with a lust for sensual pleasure and earthly glory to his conversion and subsequent adherence to the values of poverty, chastity, and obedience. It charts the founding of his religious order The Companions of Jesus (known pejoratively as The Jesuits) which set him and the movement on the collision course with church and establishment which has lasted through to the present day. This is a story of a man who stops at nothing in the fight for what he believes is right. It is also a contemporary allegory, a story of our times about anyone who demands change and meets with the savage opposition of those who have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo.
