Growing keenly aware of the changing religious and political tides of late 16th century Europe, Queen Elizabeth finds her rule openly challenged by the Spanish King Philip II -- with his powerful army and sea-dominating armada -- determined to restore England to Catholicism. Preparing to go to war to defend her empire, Elizabeth struggles to balance ancient royal duties with an unexpected vulnerability in her love for Sir Walter Raleigh. But he remains forbidden for a queen who has sworn body and soul to her country. Unable and unwilling to pursue her love, Elizabeth encourages her favorite lady-in-waiting, Bess, to befriend Raleigh to keep him near. But this strategy forces Elizabeth to observe their growing intimacy. As she charts her course abroad, her trusted advisor, Sir Francis Walsingham, continues his masterful puppetry of Elizabeth's court at home -- and her campaign to solidify absolute power. Through an intricate spy network, Walsingham uncovers an assassination plot that could topple the throne. But as he unmasks traitors that may include Elizabeth's own cousin Mary Stuart, he unknowingly sets England up for destruction.

Ludovico Vicedomini (Harvey Keitel) is a precious stone merchant who trades between Europe and the Middle East. While on the surface Ludovico is a charming and charismatic man, underneath lies a dark secret: Ludovico is a Christian converted to Islam for whom terrorism is a religious duty of the highest order. With his business partner and operator, Shahid (F. Murray Abraham), Ludovico is plotting a terrorist attack on an epic scale that will bring the West to its knees.
The plan is set in motion when Alceo (Jordi Molla) and his beautiful wife, Leda (Jane March) meet Ludovico while on vacation in Turkey. But little do they know they will soon become puppets in the deadly game of Ludovico and Shahid who are determined to seek out an unsuspecting woman and seduce her in order to make her an unwitting instrument of destruction.
Even under Alceo's suspicious eye, Leda eventually succumbs to Ludovico's charms. However, even evil can have a change of heart as Ludovico falls in love with Leda, who is destined to become an innocent "dove" and carry a radioactive bomb to England.
In an elaborate game of cat and mouse, Leda must choose between her husband and the mysterious stranger she's fallen for. The events are set in motion and the clock is ticking towards an action-packed climax that will bring two worlds crashing together.
