Tate Heilig is a timeshifter who can shift between modern time and 1890s. His hobbies include dancing ballet and playing a viola, and he is a withdrawn and sensitive soul. He bears the title of a master at an organization called the Holy Alliance, a religious organization spreading all across the world. One of the sacred causes of the Holy Alliance is to bring down timeshifters who refuse to serve the Alliance. As a part of this agenda the Alliance is after Carol Cole, the timeshifter outlaw who uses his abilities for criminal purposes. Carol outsmarts them time after time, and the Alliance struggles to find his hiding place, but Tate and his team are gaining essential clues on his whereabouts one by one.

Legend has it that one of Tate's distant ancestors once belonged to the founding fathers of the Holy Alliance. The organization's origin and reason for its existence is unclear, but it is said to bear the inheritance of the Templars themselves. Tate's family has been a loyal contributor to the organization's vital functions for centuries, and Tate has proven himself worthy of his title. The organization of course needs a lot of dedicated souls and money, but as one of the masters Tate is only responsible for mentoring members in lower positions who run the day-to-day operation of the organization.

Tate once mentored a young soldier trainee named Abigail who grew fond of him. When Abigail was ready to be sent to the field, the two separated and Tate took leave from his occupation as a priest and returned to work for the organization. The Alliance's code strictly forbids masters from giving away their locations or details of their assignments to the inferior members, but Tate receives one letter after another from Abigail, even if he knows that Abigail knows he will not respond. What initially stops Tate is a letter where Abigail tells she got wounded but has killed Carol Cole's brother Viktor Cole. Tate writes back in secret, and as soon as he is able to, he quits his project with the organization and returns to his occupation as a priest in the area Abigail is assigned to. His plan is to use Abigail to lure Carol Cole out, but he knows Carol will seek vengeance and Abigail alone won't stand a chance against Carol and his 20 men.

Little does Tate know that a twist is bound to happen in the plan. The very man who, unbeknownst to Tate and so many others, hides Carol Cole, is Tate's old friend and fellow father Theodore Rosatti. The two priests grew up in the same town and shared their secrets and journey of becoming priests alike. Theodore knows of Tate's position in the Alliance, a piece of information that would set Carol off to seek revenge and kill Tate, and Tate knows that Theodore has a lust towards other men, which would lead to the demise of his career. Now, it's up to the two priests who will lose in their game.
