Former soldier and builder Seb Gunner is recruited by Thomas Cranmer, the Archbishop of Canterbury, to hunt down Catholic recusants and their priests, as Henry VIII's Protestant Reformation and seperation from Rome gets underway. Later, Gunner is also appointed as the Tower of London torturer and learns how to use the infamous rack to break down heretical prisoners into confessing their networks. One of these prisoners is Gunners own sister. As the captured Catholics begin to fill the Towers slime ridden dungeons and Harry Eight begins to execute his wives, Gunner is seduced by a high shire lady on the bed of the torture rack, actions that soon become an obsession and a threat to his own life. A Catholic group known as the Observant Friars begin to fight back after their charismatic leader, John Foster, exhorts his followers not to give in from the burning stake of his execution. As the brutal fight between Protestants and Catholics gathers momentum, the Archbishop of Canterbury is executed and Queen Mary - a committed Catholic - comes to the throne. Where does that leave Gunner and his dwindling band of priest hunters now?
