The story begins in the spring of 1348 with rumors about a coming plague which scared people into either becoming devout Christians, drinking or going on a pilgrimage. A group of travelers meet at an inn in England. The inn owner convinces his guests to tell everyone what they have seen in their travels. Each guest tells a tale about one of the deadliest sins that becomes a chapter in the book.
