Two siblings, still living with their parents, are enchanted by Shakespeare. When William Ireland, an ambitious young antiquarian bookseller, comes into their lives claiming to possess a "lost" Shakesperean play, the siblings can barely contain their excitement. As word of the amazing find spreads, scholars and actors alike beat a path to Ireland's door, and soon all of London is eagerly anticipating opening night of a star-studded production of the play.
