For Penelope, wife of Odysseus, running a kingdom while her husband is off fighting the Trojan war is not a simple business. And if it isn't bad enough that he has been lured away due to the shocking behaviour of her beautiful cousin Helen, Penelope must also bring up her wayward son, face down scandalous rumours and keep more then one hundred lustful, greedy, blood thirsty suitors at bay... Perhaps not surprising then it all ends in murder.
