In England, November 5 is Guy Fawkes Day, when fireworks commemorate one of the most shocking moments in British history-the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, in which terrorists attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament and King James I along with them. Faith & Treason recreates this conspiracy-an event with eerie relevance to the religion-inspired terrorism of today's headlines-in a gripping narrative.
