London, 1555. Ordered to kill a man, Jack decides instead to save him, but his improvised plan produces the appearance that he has murdered the wrong target. His disobedience leaves him exposed to his spymaster and to enemies who can exploit the confusion.

Mary I’s marriage to Philip of Spain has sharpened division between Catholics, Protestant sympathisers and supporters of Princess Elizabeth. Jack’s attempt to repair his mistake draws him into affairs of state where identities, messages and staged deaths matter more than his intentions.
