In this darkly satirical period comedy-drama, a gloriously unscrupulous social climber and his razor-sharp wife prepare to host a dinner party for a duke and duchess in 18th-century England.
Set in 18th century England during pox outbreak and Jacobite uprising, Sir Chauncey (Richard E. Grant) and Lady Savage (Claire Foy) blindly pursue better life. Their pursuit is filled with ironic decadence and bloodshed. Their
house is in disrepair, maintaining a lavish lifestyle through gambling and scandalous acts. Their, and the nation's, chaos is amplified by a high-stakes dinner party they host for a Duke and Duchess.
