Mary Queen of Scots is in flight from rebels in Scotland. She has trusted her cousin Elizabeth I's promise of sanctuary, only to find herself imprisoned as the enforced guest of George Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, and his wife, Bess of Hardwick.
The couple welcomes the doomed queen, believing that serving as her hosts and jailors will bring them advantage in Tudor England's competitive world. They discover that their home becomes the epicenter of intrigue against Elizabeth, and their loyalty is questioned. Concerns about George's admiration for Mary or his devotion to Elizabeth could lead to their ruin or execution.
Plots by English lords, the Duke of Northumberland, and Northern earl to free Mary threaten Elizabeth. Spy-master Cecil sets traps, leading to Mary’s imprisonment at Fotheringhay.
