In 1593 London, William Shakespeare is a sometime player in the Lord Chamberlain's Men and poor playwright for Philip Henslowe, owner of The Rose Theatre. Shakespeare is working on a new comedy, Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter. Suffering from writer's block, he has barely begun the play, but starts auditioning players. Viola de Lesseps, the daughter of a wealthy merchant, who has seen Shakespeare's plays at court, disguises herself as "Thomas Kent" to audition, then runs away. Shakespeare pursues Kent to Viola's house and leaves a note with the nurse, asking Thomas Kent to begin rehearsals at the Rose. He sneaks into the house with the minstrels playing that night at the ball, where her parents are arranging her betrothal to Lord Wessex, an impoverished aristocrat. While dancing with Viola, Shakespeare is struck speechless, and after being forcibly ejected by Wessex, uses Thomas Kent as a go-between to woo her. Wessex also asks Will's name, to which he replies that he is Christopher Marlowe.

Arthur Rimbaud, gravement malade et aux derniers jours de sa vie, revoit les faits marquants de son existence. Son enfance dans les Ardennes, puis Paris où il devient la tête de proue des poètes symbolistes, sa rencontre avec Paul Verlaine avec lequel il entretient une relation amoureuse. Après avoir vagabondé ensemble, entre France, Angleterre et Belgique, la blessure infligée à Arthur par le coup de revolver de Verlaine met fin à leur relation et amène Arthur à renoncer à la poésie, doutant qu'elle puisse avoir un effet sur le monde comme il l'avait espéré. Ayant traîné ses semelles aux quatre vents durant une demi-décennie, il va ensuite arpenter pendant dix ans les déserts africains entre Arabie et Abyssinie, devenant agent commercial d'une importante compagnie française. Il se livre notamment au trafic d'armes avec le ras Ménélik et entretient une liaison amoureuse avec Gennet, une Éthiopienne qui restera à ses côtés jusqu'à ce que, atteint d'une tumeur maligne au genou droit, il doive quitter l'Afrique pour aller se faire soigner en France. C'est durant ses derniers mois qu'Arthur exprimera des sentiments insoupçonnés : son amour pour la vie et ses inclinaisons pour le surnaturel.
