Her father has lost wealth and he had to give her own daughter away in gamble. Abigail, once a lady now becomes a maid at the palace.
With her wit she tries to aid the Queen and soon becomes the personal maid of Lady Marlborough. Sarah teaches her shooting, lets her read and borrow books from the library. But soon she catches the eye of the opposition leader, Robert Harley. He was against of some measures about tax collection as he was also a land owner. He knew that Sarah was taking decision all by herself calling it the Queen’s order. So he was thinking about getting information from Abigail as she was the lady of the bedchamber. There was a party and all gathered at night. But the Queen unable to walk sees Sarah dancing with Colonel Masham. She gets irritated and shouts demanding Sarah to take her back. They go to the library and have sex. But they didn’t know about Abigail’s presence. Abigail gets nervous and quietly gets out of the room. Harley arrives outside the room and asks Abigail to spill secrets about the Queen and Sarah. She initially denies to betray her mistress. Harley even uses Colonel Masham to seduce Abigail.

She started passing state information to Harley and in exchange she wanted him to convince the Queen for her marriage with Masham. She did everything to gain her ladyship back. The movie takes subtle turns and shows the reality of Abigail.
This is a great dark comedy movie. There is laughter, there is reality and there is history. Greed and pride was depicted in an amazing manner.
