In the turbulent period of the War of the Roses, marked by fierce battles for the English throne, the Duke of York aims to depose King Henry VI and seize the crown for himself. Amid ominous omens, the Duke welcomes a unique child named Richard Plantagenet, the third of that name. Born neither distinctly male nor female, Richard III faces immediate scorn from his mother, which deeply shapes his upbringing and fosters a severe hatred for his own identity and the demonic label cast upon him. Guided by haunting visions of Joan of Arc, who mocks him with prophecies of ruin for those around him, Richard clings to the belief that aiding his father's rise to the throne will bring him redemption. Yet, burdened by the curses of his mother and Joan, will Richard's efforts instead lead his family down a path of darkness?
