Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Burdened by the untimely demise of the king, sad Queen Natasha is contemplating death. In the meantime, she is utterly unaware of her court's sinister machinations. When Stanislas, a suicidal anarchist poet bearing an uncanny resemblance to the late monarch, invades the royal boudoir with murder on his mind, they both fall madly in love. However, dark forces are at work. Is there a future for Natasha and Stanislas' impossible love? Written by Nick Riganas |
