<p>A bloody feud. A tangled love. A senseless tragedy that brings two families to their knees.</p>

<p>Determined to save their love, Romeo and Juliet wed in secret. But when a fight erupts that leaves Montagues and Capulets dead, Romeo is banished from Verona, forcing Juliet to take desperate measures that spell tragedy for the star-crossed lovers.</p>
