Synopsis
The series depicts a year within the palace of an unnamed fictional country somewhere in Europe with a vain and corrupt leader, Chancellor Elena Vernham. The authoritarian government is crumbling. After not leaving the palace for quite some time, Vernham becomes increasingly paranoid and unstable and turns to a volatile soldier, Herbert Zubak, as an unlikely confidant. As Zubak's influence over the chancellor grows, Elena's attempts to expand her power eventually result in the palace and the country fracturing around her.
