THE PREMISE
The Decameron is a soapy period dramedy that aims to examine the timely themes of class systems. Power struggles, and survival in a time of pandemic, brought to life by an ensemble of characters both ridiculous and ill-fated. Set in 1348, the Black Death strikes hard in the city of Florence. An invitation has been extended to a group of nobles and their servants to attend a lavish retreat at a grand villa located in the picturesque Italian countryside. And wait out the pestilence with a lavish holiday. But as social rules wear thin, what starts as a wine-soaked sex romp in the hills of Tuscany descends into an all-out scramble for survival.
