This book is written by William Shakespeare. Welcome to Vienna, where illegal brothels, STDs, and illegitimate children are a dime a dozen. Duke Vincentio is fed up with the sinful ways of his people, but he also doesn't want to be the bad guy who enforces Vienna's strict sex laws. So, the Duke announces he's heading out of town for a while and leaves a super-strict deputy named Angelo is charge during his absence. Hopefully, Angelo will clean up the streets of Vienna. Since Vienna's laws haven't been enforced in about fourteen years, Angelo's got his work cut out for him. He wastes no time arresting Claudio and then sentences him to death for fornicating (having sex outside of marriage) with Juliet, who is about to become Claudio's baby mama. When Claudio's virtuous sister Isabella (a wannabe nun who wishes the convent she is about to join would be more strict) hears that her naughty brother is headed for the chopping block, she sets up a meeting with Angelo and begs for Claudio's life.
