Aims to shatter myths around the Gunpowder Plot, one of the most infamous moments in British history and when, in 1605, a group of plotters organized by Catesby attempted to blow up King James I at the opening of Parliament.
Delves into the aftermath of the Plot, spotlighting its three leaders: Catesby, his cunning cousin Thomas Wintour, and their ruthless enforcer, Thomas Percy.
The plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament has failed - and while mercenary Guido Fawkes is taken to the Tower of London, his accomplices are on the run.
Thomas Wintour hears there has been an explosion at Holbeche House and rushes back to find a scene of devastation, with many of the men defecting.
With the King's men not far away, the fugitives barricade themselves in Holbeche House, reflecting on the years of persecution that have led to this moment.
