Set at Christmas 1183 in the king's castle in Chinon, France (when the Loire was ruled by Britain),
there's betrayal, treachery, and a knife fight: just another normal Christmas celebration for the royal
Plantagenet family of Britain. King Henry II throws a Christmas feast for the newly crowned King of France.
Also in attendance for the holiday celebrations are Henry's three plotting sons, each eager to take the
throne, and Henry's manipulative wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine, newly released from house arrest (after
raising an army against Henry). Even though they need to appear a happy family for the King of France, this
doesn't stop each Plantagenet from secretly plotting to take the others down. While the three sons
backstab and squabble to take their place in history, Eleanor and Henry use their offspring as pawns against
each other in a dangerous game of cat and mouse.
