A powerful and sweeping epic based on the tragic life of Britain's most renown Queens, Mary of Scots.
It is 1551 and Scotland is in ruins, divided amongst warring clans and living in the shadow of a powerful English Queen. Young, beautiful and perhaps a touch naive, Mary returns to Scotland from exile in the French Courts - and immediately finds herself tested by domestic turmoil which demands the utmost in delicate diplomacy.
Drawn into a heated love affair by her heart, but with growing awareness that her court is divided and riddled with people she can't trust, Mary soon faces the first shocking revelation of her tenure. It will not be the last. Pregnant from a husband who has been declared a drunk and a traitor, the young Queen struggles to maintain control of her country, and despite her strength of character, is a vulnerable target.
Affairs in the Scottish court turn ugly and violent. Mary's trusted advisor is brutally murdered in her presence - and the only person she can turn to is the charismatic and handsome Lord Bothwell, known for his deep loyalty to her mother. Will the man she is falling in love with help her deliver a strong and united Scotland to its people? Or will he too betray a woman whose life has become synonymous with tragedy, but who will be forever remembered for the dignity she upheld in the face of extreme sacrifice.
