Set in 1588, shortly after the Spanish Armada's defeat, the story follows two English Jesuit priests who secretly land on a Norfolk beach. Their mission is to persuade England to return to the Catholic Church through reasoned debate, aiming to succeed where military might had failed. The narrative explores themes of faith, conflict, and the struggle for religious influence during a tumultuous period in English history.
