Philippa Langley (played by Sally Hawkins) is in a mess, divorced from her husband, struggling at work, and suffering from chronic fatigue. To lift her spirits, she goes to the opera to see "Richard III" and becomes fascinated by Richard III. She researches all the books about Richard III and discovers that he is often referred to as the usurper king, a king who committed patricide and fratricide for power. However, Philippa finds that the story of Richard was rewritten a century later. To confirm Richard's story, she begins a relentless examination of books, becoming a member of the Richard III Society to search for answers. Obsessed with the truth, she frequently converses with her imagined Richard III, which inspires her and strengthens her convictions. With the help of the Richard III Society, Philippa finally uncovers the gravestone of Charles III and verifies through a letter buried in the British Library that Parliament demanded he inherit the throne. In the process of searching for Richard III, Philippa rediscovers herself and finds a fulfilling love.
