Out of ideas and cash, a young Will Shakespeare (Fiennes), is in search of a muse to break his creative drought. After meeting the lovely Lady Viola (Paltrow), the two find themselves entangled in a secret romance that rejuvenates Will's creativity. His pen flows like never before until he uncovers two unexpected truths about his new lover - she's promised to marry someone else and she's successfully impersonating a man to play the lead in Will's latest play.
