This is the story of Charles Dickens - the greatest Victorian of them all - and the great hidden love of his life, Nelly Ternan. It explores how a man who was compared to Christ on his death was, in private, driven by adulterous passion for a woman 27 years his junior. This film is a quest to discover the truth behind the smokescreen set up by the Dickens industry to hide the secret love affair which continued for 13 years.
