En el verano de 1596, en Stratford-upon-Avon, una joven regresa de la escuela sintiéndose enferma. Su gemelo, Hamnet, busca ayuda desesperadamente, pero nadie está cerca. Su madre está en el jardín, su padre en Londres trabajando en el teatro, y sus hermanas están fuera. Esta es la historia de una mujer y su halcón, del hijo de un guantero que huye para casarse con su amada y dedicarse al teatro, y de su hijo, Hamnet, cuyo nombre inspirará una de las obras más famosas de todos los tiempos. En el centro de todo, un retrato de un matrimonio poco convencional, el vínculo entre gemelos y el dolor de una pérdida irreparable.
