The Apprentice tells the story of The carving of The Apprentice Pillar in Rosslyn Chapel. Sir William St Clair has a vision for a Pillar he would like for the interior of the Chapel. He sends Vincenzo, The Master Mason to Rome to study one he has seen there.

While he is away, Marcus the young apprentice, has a dream that he carves the Pillar. Upon hearing of this Dream Sir William, fearing that the Master Mason will not return decides to let The Apprentice carve his Pillar. However, the Master does return and Marcus pays the ultimate price for his ‘betrayal’.
