In the bustling city of Athens, crowds gather to witness the most scandalous trial of ancient times. The royal family finds itself entangled in a web of intrigue. Young bride Phaedra, the wife of King Theseus, accuses her stepson, Hippolytus, of a heinous act: rape. He is a prince, a skilled horseman, a promising noble with an entire future ahead of him. She is a young and neglected wife, the youngest in a long line of Cretan women with less-than-stellar reputations. The men of Athens must ascertain the truth. Who is guilty, and who is innocent? However, the women know that truth is a slippery concept. After all, this is the age of heroes and monsters. Every story has two sides, and theirs has remained unheard until now.
