The Queen of Hearts deals with her own trials as she struggles to uphold the image that has been forced upon her, whilst dealing with her own past that she can never quite outrun. 
The only rulers of suits born before Generation One, the King and Queen of Clubs constantly battle with what was and what is, as well as controlling their own suit. 
And as for the elusive Queen of Diamonds, nobody is quite sure...
When life is reduced to a game, what happens when someone doesn't play by the rules?
