Desperate Romantics
故事发生在19世纪的伦敦，在那个工业化方兴未艾的钢铁时代，在街头巷尾、在画廊、在充满怀古风情的普通房屋里，拉斐尔前派兄弟会(Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood)的画家、诗人和评论家正热烈地针砭时弊，探讨艺术，展望人生。这些致力于打破旧习的人，用他们富有激情的「男性浪漫」在人生之路上不断奋斗。阴谋家，不知羞耻，叛逆者，你有时甚至可以这么称呼他们。但他们绝不会放弃自己的追求－－为了名誉、金钱、地位、成功、爱情，还有性。制片人用很形象的语言描述本剧为：拿着画板的「明星伙伴」(Entourage)。
The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood look for a muse to inspire their best work yet.

As his new patron, John Ruskin insists on Millais painting his young wife Effie.

Rossetti and Lizzie return from their honeymoon, and Hunt proposes to Annie Miller.
