In the vibrant tapestry of 1970s Australia, where high society meets the counterculture, Madeline, once a poor relation, finds herself ensnared by the son of a corrupt politician. After a traumatic event leaves her pregnant and alone, she invents the existence of Bill Shakespeare, a husband to shield her from society's harsh judgments.

Enter an actual Bill Shakespeare, not of the stage but of the bush, a hippie with a passion for poetry and peace, who stumbles into her life just as she's crafting her escape from scandal. Embracing the role of her faux husband with a zeal that surprises even Madeline, this Bill brings with him the ethos of the Aquarius Festival's free love and communal living. 

Together, they navigate a world of mistaken identities, bell-bottoms, and disco beats, discovering that love, laughter, and a dash of Shakespearean drama can challenge the conventions of a judgmental society. Will their unconventional union thrive amidst the psychedelic dawn of a new age, or will it unravel like a fragile dream?All Rights Reserved

Before she knows it, Scarlett finds herself playing doting wife to the infamous playboy to find out the truth. But as the lies become more entangled, Scarlett finds herself questioning her involvement in this scheme, and more importantly, what her true feelings are for the handsome billionaire.
