After being crowned Thane of Cawdor by King Duncan, Macbeth, driven by ambition and egged on by his wife, murders the king with the intention to seize the throne for himself. However, as guilt sets in, Lady Macbeth begins experiencing hallucinations due to her complex over their shared crime. Meanwhile, the dead king's son, Malcolm, conspires against Macbeth aiming to expose him and reclaim his rightful place.
