Gunpowder

England, 1603. Elizabeth I is dead and King James of Scotland has taken the throne. With the country at war with Catholic Spain, English Catholics are persecuted and priests caught saying Mass are punished with death. Several attempts have already been made on the new King's life. All so far have failed. But deep in the heart of the Warwickshire countryside, a new plot is brewing.

As the King's network of spies closes in on them, Catesby and Wintour attempt to raise an army for their plot across mainland Europe. Back in England, Cecil's questioning of Lady Anne does not yield results about her cousin's whereabouts - but is there another member of the household who'll give him answers?

On the eve of the 5th of November, Catesby, Fawkes and the plotters load the tunnels below Parliament with barrels of gunpowder. Across the city, Father Garnet is under pressure from an ally to break his seal of confession and reveal Catesby's plot - for the good of the Catholic faith. Will the priest be the one to betray Catesby at the eleventh hour?
