Le film porte sur la période de 1892 à 1897, cinq années qui virent basculer l'existence d'Oscar Wilde. Après le triomphe de sa pièce L'Éventail de Lady Windermere, il subit deux procès dont le premier l'opposa au marquis de Queensberry, le père d'Alfred Douglas, et le second où il fut accusé d'homosexualité. Deux années de travaux forcés s'ensuivirent.

Oliver Cromwell is a devout Puritan, a country squire, magistrate and former member of Parliament. King Charles I's policies, including the enclosing of common land for the use of wealthy landowners and the introduction of "Popish" and "Romish" rituals into the Church of England have become increasingly grating to many, including Cromwell. In fact Charles regards himself as a devout Anglican, permitting his French Queen to practise Roman Catholicism in private but forbidding her to bring up the young Prince of Wales in that faith. Cromwell plans to take his family to the New World, but, on the eve of their departure, he is persuaded by his friends to stay and resume a role in politics.
