In a quest to bring peace to her beloved Scottish borderlands, fortune-teller and spy Undine Douglas agrees to marry a savage English colonel. Desparate to delay the wedding long enough to undermine the army's plans, Undine casts a spell to summon help and unexpectedly finds herself under the imperious gaze of handsome and talented Michael Kent, a twenty-first-century British director. Though he abandoned acting years ago, Michael will play whatever part it takes to guard Undine's saftety --- he's used to managing London's egocentric actors and high-handed patrons, after all. But not even Shakespeare could have forseen the sparks that fly when the colonel's plans force Undine and Michael into the roles of their lifetimes.
