With her young son, Henry Tudor, in exile in France, Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Richmond, shelters deep in the shadows, secretly plotting for the day when Henry can be crowned the rightful king. <p/> But as her supporters are picked off one by one, it becomes clear that a traitor lurks within Margaret's household.
