In the strike-bound winter of 1978–79, Candice cycles London's chaotic streets delivering post while rehearsing Richard III for an all-female cast, trying to grasp his seizure of power. At the Warehouse theatre she meets an as yet unknown Margaret Thatcher taking voice lessons, already determined to rule, and Jones, a young musician just laid off.
