1183. During the Christmas festivities, the aging King Henry II of England must name an heir. The event is attended by the king's wife Eleanor of Aquitaine, who spent ten years in prison for her part in a plot against the monarch, the king's mistress, the vain princess Alais, her brother, King Philip II Augustus of France, and Henry II's three sons, Richard the Lionheart, Geoffrey and John. All members of the family hate each other. They have only one thing in common - an exorbitant thirst for power and willingness to commit any treachery for its sake.
