The year is 1604. Guy Fawkes cements himself in history after failing to detonate 2,500 kilograms of gunpowder, intentionally hidden beneath the House of Lords at the heart of the British parliament. The famed Gunpowder Plot held many secrets, a tale captured and embellished by a Victorian novelist, William Harrison Ainsworth, where Guido (Guy) Fawkes became the doomed hero of a best-selling novel, now long forgotten, yet full of magic, romance and the supernatural.
