A devilishly dark historical comedy about a Machiavellian couple who lie, cheat, and charm their way through 18th-century high society.
This devilishly dark historical comedy follows the Machiavellian schemings of corrupt aristocrats Sir Chauncey Savage (Grant) and his wife, Lady Savage (Foy). Set against an 18th-century backdrop of the Jacobite Uprising and a devastating pox outbreak, the couple lie, cheat, and charm their way across high society, leaving chaos, avarice, and bloodshed in their wake. A scathing, irreverent, and utterly outrageous satire on the venalities of class and power.
