Italy, during the Renaissance, the Medicis are ruling over Florence. But a conspiracy in a attempt to overthrow the powerful Lorenzo de' Medici is being plotted. Rodrigo Borgia is part of it. One night of 1476, Rodrigo is on his way to leave Florence with few of his men in the dark streets of the city. Suddenly, an Assassin intercepts him. Rodrigo flees immediately as the Assassin is fighting with his men. Hidden behind a corner, he sees the Assassin capturing one of his men. The prisoner reveals to Rodrigo's enemies the assassination of Galeazzo Maria Sforza, Duke of Milan and a powerful ally of Lorenzo. However, the Assassin arrives too late. Rodrigo and his accomplices' plan has succed. He is planning the next move.
