"In London
Came the plague in sixteen
sixty five
One hundred thousand dead
But I alive."
London is infected. The dead fall in the streets. As the plagues pits fill, the people of London struggle to maintain a society in the face of overwhelming mortality. Based on eyewitness accounts from 1665, Ten Plagues relates one man's journey through a city in crisis.
