Life for Alex, a young man diagnosed with AIDS, if one of despair and hopelessness. Everything begins to change when on June 3, the Feast of the Martyrs of Uganda, the catehist, Mr Wamala, reaches out to Alex and helps him discover the heroic lives of the Martyrs of Uganda.
Guided by Mr Wamala, we relive the arrival of the first Catholic missionaries in Uganda. We see them proclaiming the Good News of Jesus while caring for the sick and suffering. At the court of the king of Buganda, many prominent people like Balikuddembe, Kaggwa and Mullimba come to believe in Jesus. However due to the intrigues of Prime Minister (Katikiro) and the traditional priests, their faith is soon severely put to the test. Bukkuddembe is beheaded, Denis Ssebugwawo speared to death, and the rest burnt alive.
Alex, confronted with such heroism, feels the power of hope and gains the courage to face his own inevitable death,
