Plot summary: ‘The Physician 2′

Ispahan, Persia — Year 1034. Physician Rob Cole and his family are forced to flee the Madrasa, heading west with his group of medical students. When they reach London, they discover that Muslims and Jews are banned from entering the city and forbidden from practicing medicine within its walls.
