Nel 1849 Edgar Allan Poe vive a Baltimora in pessime condizioni economiche, elemosinando bevute nelle locande e qualche angolo nei giornali locali per pubblicare le sue poesie. Unica luce della sua esistenza è Emily, la giovane e ricca figlia di un militare in pensione, che lo scrittore è intenzionato a sposare contro il fermo volere del padre. Una notte, la polizia ritrova il cadavere di due donne, una madre e una figlia, in un appartamento chiuso dall'interno senza possibili vie di fuga. L'ispettore Emmett Fields riconosce nella scena dell'omicidio gli stessi dettagli narrati da Poe nel racconto I delitti della Rue Morgue e decide di coinvolgerlo nelle indagini. Lo scrittore diviene così suo malgrado l'unica persona in grado di interpretare gli indizi lasciati sul luogo dall'estimatore assassino.
