On an island with no name, Prospero - once Duke of Milan - conjures a great storm.
Episode 1
This is a tale of wizards, magic, murder and monsters. It takes place long ago on an island with no name.
Prospero and his beautiful daughter, Miranda, live in a cave on the Island, but they weren't born there. Twelve years ago they were cast out to sea in a boat full of holes.
They were meant to die, but who would want to murder them鈥? It so happens that the people responsible are on a ship sailing past the island on their way home to Italy.
Prospero intends to teach them a lesson by way of punishment. He calls on Ariel - his helper sprite - and conjures up a storm so tempestuous it will change all their lives forever.
