En l'été 1593, le jeune poète et dramaturge au talent prometteur William Shakespeare, criblé de dette et harcelé par son commanditaire Henslowe, promet de lui livrer bientôt une nouvelle pièce, "Romeo et Ethel, la fille du pirate", dont il ne possède en fait que le titre. Lady Viola, qui vénère les sonnets de Shakespeare, rêve de devenir actrice, ce qui est rigoureusement interdit aux femmes. Qu'a cela ne tienne, elle se déguise en garcon et décroche le rôle de Roméo. William découvre vite l'identité de son jeune premier et en tombe follement amoureux.

American producer James Boyce and his airhead wife Amber rent an English country mansion where the British horror flick "Smoke Rings" was filmed twenty years previous. Amber's mother was model-actress Mandy Mason, who died mysteriously after her appearance in "Smoke Rings." The property rental to Boyce was arranged by middle-aged lawyer Henry Harris, who continues to live with his lovesick memories of the late actress. Boyce invites Harris to dinner, and "Smoke Rings" airs on TV that same evening. During the following days, Harris observes Amber's behaviour paralleling events experienced both by her mother and in the movie.
