Britain is in crisis. A divided dystopian Britain is ruled by an ineffectual Queen Cymbeline. Cymbeline's judgment is clouded by her grief over the deaths of two of her children. When Innogen, the only living heir, secretly marries her sweetheart Posthumus, an enraged Cymbeline banishes him. Behind the throne, a power-hungry figure plots to seize power by murdering them both. In exile, Innogen's husband is duped into believing she has been unfaithful to him, and in an act of irrational jealousy, he plots to have her murdered. After being warned of the danger, Innogen flees court in disguise and embarks on a perilous journey that will eventually reunite Cymbeline with a long-lost heir and reconcile the young lovers.
