Will

In 1589, a time of religious turmoil in England, Will Shakespeare arrives from the small town of Stratford to the wild streets of London with little more than a dream and a treacherous letter.

Wracked with guilt over the arrest of a rival playwright, Will makes a dangerous confession to the beautiful and rebellious Alice; the future of the theatre becomes threatened when another playhouse tempts crowd-pleasing actor Kemp.

Will has an epiphany that could lead him to success, but he needs Alice's help; a charismatic fugitive from Will's past burdens him.

Marlowe introduces Will to the decadent elite of London, but things take a macabre turn; Alice becomes disillusioned; Will must fight for all that he holds dear.

An unexpected arrival sends Will's world spinning; a transcendental experience leads Marlowe to deal with his past; Topcliffe deciphers a code that throws Will into a life-and-death situation.

Tensions rise as Will and Alice continue to collaborate; Anne attempts to adjust to London life; love forces Marlowe to confront his darkest fears; Presto confronts true evil.
