Rok 1957. Młoda kobieta zostaje znaleziona martwa w domu położonym milę od pałacu Buckingham. Kiedy ktoś jej bliski zostaje wplątany w sprawę, młoda królowa Elżbieta II nie ma wyjścia i potajemnie bierze śledztwo w swoje ręce. Wie jednak, że nie może stawić czoła temu wyzwaniu sama. Potrzebuje wsparcia kogoś sprytnego, dyskretnego i lojalnego, kogoś, komu może zaufać.

Na plaży nieopodal królewskiej posiadłości w Sandringham zostaje znaleziona odcięta ludzka dłoń.

Ale kiedy kolejny mężczyzna zostaje znaleziony martwy, a jedna z mieszkanek niemal ginie w wyniku potrącenia, sprawy przybierają jeszcze mroczniejszy obrót.
