Summary
Welcome to Tudor London. Henry VIII is in power. The Renaissance is slowly extending its influence into England. The church is undergoing reformations. But this doesn't mean everything is changing. Notably stagnant is society's attitude towards queer people.
Will Byers is bound to help run his family's farm on the outskirts of London. Mike Wheeler is destined to marry well and ensure the continuation of the Wheeler legacy. But when they're together, it's almost like none of that matters. They can just be.
Almost. But men who love men are still getting executed for living their truth. And it seems like all the odds are against them. Is there an ending for their story where their love can exist freely?
