One woman brings fear and mayhem to the Roman invaders of her country, in a crusade of passion, outrage and revenge. In the process she unifies a nation and gives it the power to topple the invincible Empire of Rome.
Just a few days after the death of her husband, Queen Boudicca is flogged and her daughters raped on the whim of a Roman Administrator.
His callous actions generate a wealth of unexpected sympathy, uniting many tribes of Britannia under one banner for the first time in the country's history, with Boudicca as their leader.
