På en og samme tid udspiller sig en kaerlighedshistorie og en tragedie med adelsmanden Jørgen Lykke som centrum i 1500-tallets Danmark. Det er reformationstidens brydning mellem konge, adel og magt, som danner baggrunden, men først og fremmest er det den tragiske fortaelling om adelsmanden, som bliver mere og mere skruppelløs i sin jagt efter rigdom og magt.
