It is the early 18th century in England, in the middle of a war with France. A frail Queen Anne occupies the throne while her friend lady Sarah governs the country. When Abigail, a new and ambitious servant, arrives she develops a close relationship with the monarch. A growing friendship between the two gets Sarah furious —but Abigail will not let anyone stand in her way.
