This five-part serial from award-winning crime writer Denise Mina takes a dark, contemporary look at Renaissance-era Florence. In a corrupt city riven by factionalism, wealth inequality and suffering from a rampant outbreak of plague, the pressure is building.

Young scholar Girolamo Savonarola is bearing a weight of expectation from his impoverished family but increasingly feels the pull of a different way of life.
