A divided country. Crumbling Leadership. Corruption in the air. Welcome to England.

Hal wasn't born to be King - but now, he's going to be. 

His father begs for him to leave behind his friends in the taverns of Eastcheap - namely, the infamous John Falstaff, portrayed by world-famous Sir Ian McKellen (Lord of the Rings, Hamlet Within, King Lear)

War is on the horizon - and it's up to Hal to decide between good and evil, light and dark, and right and wrong.
