The compelling drama plunges into the aftermath of the Plot, spotlighting its three leaders - Robert Catesby, his cunning cousin Thomas Wintour, and their ruthless enforcer Thomas Percy. Instantly branded as the most wanted men in England, they race from London to the Midlands, desperately seeking to ignite a Catholic rebellion. Their daring plan? To overthrow King James and place his young daughter, Princess Elizabeth, on the throne. Had they succeeded, Britain might look very different today.
