Kit Morton is a maverick playwright, working with celebrated director Roz Byron on a new production about the life of William Shakespeare. But when Kit begins to be plagued by visions of the past, visions which reveal dark secrets about Shakespeare no one has previously discovered, he is forced to question his fundamental understanding of who Shakespeare was or is. Enter magnetic Thom Davenant, the super-sexual lead actor of The Play, who seems a living reincarnation of The Bard. As the two men covertly work together on bringing the visions Kit sees to life on stage, Kit begins to feel reality slipping away, and life becoming a mirror of events long gone… scenes filled with black magic, time-travel, unrequited love, and sordid adultery. Shakespeare’s true descendant may well be alive today, but there are those who do not wish for the line to be discovered. A dark spider waits to catch Thom, motivated by revenge. Kit must do all that he can to save the living heir of William Shakespeare, before it’s too late, and history repeats itself.
