The film explores the early life of the actor Richard Burton. In 1942, Richard Jenkins (Harry Lawtey) lives as a wayward schoolboy. However, Richard's natural talent for drama catches the attention of his teacher, Philip Burton (BAFTA winner Toby Jones). Taking Richard under his wing, the young man thrives thanks to Philip's teaching and the guidance of kindly landlady, Ma Smith (Academy Award nominee Lesley Manville). However, as the acting world comes within Richard's reach, the burden of his past risks holding him back forever.
