AD 75
: as a passion for home improvement sweeps through
the Roman Empire

Falco
struggles to deal with a pair of terrible bath-house contractors who have been causing him misery for months.
Far away in
Britain

Rome
in a hurry, he accepts the task.
A thousand miles from home, he starts restoring order to the chaotic building site and realises that someone with murderous intentions is now after him...
