It's not easy being queen! As France surges toward chaos, the honeymoon's afterglow fades quickly for the newly crowned king and queen, Francis and Mary. Tensions over the Black Death, famine, shifting alliances and religious turmoil must be resolved quickly in order to present a united front and prevent peasant uprisings. But an illegitimate son, murder, blackmail and threaten to divide the devotions of the ruling couple, and separation seems inevitable. Pressure mounts for news of a royal heir, with murderous betrayals and treason occurring within the castle's very walls.

Between politics and passion, duty and desire, loyalty and love, lies the destiny of a queen. Ever since Mary Stuart, Queen of Scotland, was a little girl, the English have wanted her country and her crown. As a teenager, Mary is sent to France to wed its next king to save herself and her people. Waiting at the French Court is the gorgeous Prince Francis, his illegitimate half-brother Sebastian (Bash), a king on the brink of madness, a scheming queen and seer Nostradamus with a devastating prophecy.

It is 1935. Three years have passed, and as the seasons turn, so too do the machinations of a rising revolution. As a new summer falls upon the foothills of India's Little England, Simla, political tensions reach fever point. With help from the scheming Cynthia (Julie Walters), Ralph faces the most pivotal year of his career. Alices husband has followed her to India, and Aafrins ascending career may be in jeopardy.

Julie Walters stars as the glamorous doyenne of an English social club in the twilight era of British rule in India. Set in a subtropical paradise, Indian Summers explores the collision of the high-living English ruling class with the local people agitating for Indian independence. As the drama unfolds, the two sides alternately clash and merge in an intricate game of power, politics, and passion.
