In fair Verona, two long-feuding families tend a tenuous truce. As tensions simmer, Romeo Montague's thoughts turn from the scornful Rosaline to the lovely young Juliet Capulet, daughter of his father's enemy. Aided by the peace-seeking Friar Laurence and Juliet's doting nurse, the two young lovers marry in secret. But the joy of their union is short-lived, as brash boys' tempers flare and Romeo avenges the murder of his dear friend Mercutio by taking the life ot Tybalt, Juliet's cousin. Banished to Mantua, Romeo must rely on Friar Laurence to reunite him and Juliet away from their families' feuding. But fate does not smile upon these star-crossed lovers, as a misunderstanding of the Friar's scheme leads both Romeo and Juliet to drastic -- and irreversibly tragic -- action.
