Wilmot is a talented poet and a notorious womanizer, and his exploits are legendary. He is also a favorite of the King, who often turns a blind eye to his behavior.
Wilmot meets and falls in love with Elizabeth Malet (Samantha Morton), a young actress. Despite his reputation, Elizabeth is drawn to him and they become lovers. Wilmot is eventually forced to marry an heiress to save his estate, but his heart still belongs to Elizabeth.
Meanwhile, Wilmot’s behavior continues to spiral out of control. He is frequently drunk and engages in increasingly reckless behavior. He eventually contracts syphilis, and his health begins to decline.
As his health deteriorates, Wilmot begins to reflect on his life and his choices. He realizes that he has wasted his life and that he is going to die alone and unloved. He decides to make amends with Elizabeth and the two reconcile.
