The Duke (Dominic Rowan), reluctant to wield his power to clean up the city leaves, transferring the responsibility to his deputy, Angelo (Kurt Egyiawan). Angelo soon starts implementing harsh and radical changes. Young Claudio (Joel MacCormack) finds himself afoul of an ancient law when he gets his love Juliet (Naana Agyei-Ampadu) pregnant.
