His succession plan will slay you. Charismatic, cunning and utterly ruthless, Richard, Duke of Gloucester (Colm Feore) is the very embodiment of lethal ambition as he maneuvers and murders his way to the throne of England. But once he reaches the top, the only way is down and in Richard's growing roster of vengeful enemies, none are more menacing than the ghosts of his past.
