Dante Alighieri è in esilio, e non tornerà. Giunge ora al culmine il grande spettacolo "tra cielo e terra" del dramma perduto di William Shakespeare, l’unica penna al mondo in grado di mettere in scena la Divina Commedia e il suo autore. Alleanze, assedi, battaglie, suppliche e tentativi diplomatici si susseguono, ma le porte di Firenze non si riapriranno: il vento dei tempi soffia contro il Poeta, in cerca di rifugio e di aiuto, mentre la moglie Gemma, i figli e gli amici ne seguono con ansia le peripezie.
