Told in the first person, this fictionalized biography of King Henry VIII ("Hal") attempts to make sense of why such a gifted and powerful man could have behaved with such cruelty to his wives, advisors, and friends. Short, tense chapters spanning from early childhood to his death bed present the psychology of Hal's failing struggle against a cruel father, personal ambition, and ghostly visions.
