1892, London - Isaac Haywood and his twin sister Cymbeline could not be more different. He is a painter with a weakness for Byron, Greek mythology and dramatic outbursts, she a journalist that wears suits and talks more nonsense than is good for her. They just share two traits: homosexuality - and holding each others back in times of trouble. But when Cymbeline suddenly falls for the witty Ada and Isaac finds his muse in the beautiful Atticus, their life is set on the edge of a knife. For how could relationships like these last in a time where 'sodomy' is still a crime, where a love that dare not speak its name must still be kept secret? Can the dangerous play of disguise and secrecy conceal their love? Or will it lead them to ruin? A historical romance, a comedy and a poor attempt to make Oscar Wilde very proud.
