Victoria Sultana, a respected religious woman on the island of Malta, begins to suffer inexplicably from the same holy wounds as Jesus Christ. On what Victoria assumes to be an ordinary Friday in May of 2010, she experiences the entirety of the Passion of the Christ and dies. Soon, her husband, family and friends are on television singing her praises, claiming that she was nothing short of a saint walking amongst us, but could there be more to her death... or was Victoria Sultana's painful fate simply, and truly, God's plan?

Yet So As By Fire takes a harrowing look at the dark side of this picturesque Mediterranean island, where hysteric religion, corrupt politics and twisted media coalesce to create a potent vortex of such proportions that it can perhaps only be undone by fiction.
