Set towards the glamorous backdrop of Britain's roaring '20s, The Laureate tells the story of younger British Struggle Poet Robert Graves, who's married with 4 kids when he meets and turns into romantically concerned with Laura Driving, a author from America. Defying the conventions of well mannered society, Driving strikes in with Graves and his spouse residing as a menage a tois. Then with the arrival of strappingly good-looking Irish poet Geoffrey Phibbs, the association turns into a menage a quatre. However quickly tensions and rivalries turn into so fraught that Graves is a suspect for tried homicide.
