Boleyn sisters, Mary and Anne are compelled by their ambitious uncle and father to advance their family status by courting the King of England. Simple country life is left behind as the girls are thrown into the heart of the royal court - and what began as an attempt to help their family status turns into a rivalry among sisters Anne and Mary for King's affections. At first, Mary wins the favor of King Henry becoming his mistress while bearing his illegitimate daughter. The clever, conniving and deceitful Anne seduces the King away from both her sister and the Queen of England. Both Boleyn girls compete for the King's love - Anne driven by ambition, Mary by true feelings - while England becomes politically torn.
