Welcome to The Empire theatre 1922. When Jack Treadwell first arrives at The Empire, a rehearsal is in full swing, and he is instantly mesmerised by the glitz and glamour of it all. But Jack quickly learns that the true magic of The Empire is the cast of characters - both on stage and backstage - that work tirelessly to ensure the show will go on, no matter what.
Jack joins them, throwing himself into theatre life, finding an eccentric new family and maybe even a leading lady of his own . . .
However, Jack soon discovers it is not just those on stage who are acting. With whispers of a scandalous cover-up and rivalries that threaten the future of The Empire, tensions rise, along with the curtain. For there is treachery at the heart of the theatre and a shocking secret waiting in the wings.
Can Jack discover the truth before it is too late, and the theatre that means so much to them all goes dark?
