Story Synopsis:

Within "The Final Days of Christ", stained glass window, the icon of Judas Iscariot has suffered a lifetime of judgement. He has been endlessly ostracized by the eleven other, halo bearing, apostles, for his act of betrayal against Christ. Unsatisfied with his fate, Judas decides to re-visit his past in an attempt to right his wrongs, redeem himself with Christ, and receive the halo he has always lacked. During his quest, Judas discovers that contrary to the implications from the other apostles, no sin is greater than the next and that everyone has made mistakes in their past. Most importantly, Judas learns that it is never too late to start over.
