Something wicked this way comes...  

After receiving a supernatural premonition; one couple risks everything to seize control of the Scottish crown. As comrades fall and paranoia sets in, the Macbeth’s ambition brings them to the height of power and over the edge of their reason. One of Shakespeare’s finest tragedies, Macbeth is a timeless story of greed, fate, tyranny, and the cost of unbridled hubris.
