A claustrophobic historical drama about the final days of French royalty, balancing intimate family bonds against the creeping dread of political imprisonment and impending doom.

1792. Louis XVI, his wife Marie Antoinette, and their children have been arrested and imprisoned in the Tour du Temple, a sinister chateau in Paris, awaiting their trial. Far from the splendour of Versailles, they are isolated and vulnerable for the first time in their lives.
