In 1947, Lord Mountbatten (Hugh Bonneville) assumes the post of last Viceroy, charged with handing India back to its people, amidst religious conflict and colonial India's tumultuous transition to independence. As tensions rise, Mountbatten attempts to mediate a disagreement between Indian leaders Jawaharlal Nehru and Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
