Restoration

“An ordinary man, an irresistible offer. In a world of seduction and power, temptation has its price.”

Why does King Charles II hand his personal physician a wife and a single instruction? Robert Merivel (Robert Downey Jr.), a young doctor, saves the life of someone close to the King and finds himself living in luxury at court. Michael Hoffman sets the marriage to the King's mistress against one order, never to fall in love, and Merivel stands to lose his place, his money and everything the crown gave him.
