Ambientata all'apice della "tulipomania" che colpì l'Olanda nel XVII secolo, questa è la storia di Cornelius van Baerle, un umile coltivatore il cui unico desiderio è quello di coltivare l'esemplare perfetto di tulipano negra. Quando il suo padrino viene assassinato, Cornelius si ritrova coinvolto nella politica mortale dell'epoca, imprigionato e condannato a morte. La figlia del suo carceriere, Rosa, detiene sia la chiave per la sua sopravvivenza che la sua possibilità di produrre il tulipano definitivo.
