Set in 1613, Shakespeare is recognized as the greatest writer, but after his famous Globe Theater was razed to the ground, the crushed Shakespeare returned to Stratford, where he must face a troubled past and a neglected family. His only son Hamnet died, he struggled to repair his broken relationship with his wife and daughter, and was forced to examine his failure as a husband and father. His personal search for the truth revealed secrets and lies within the family.
