Tom Rakewell, a young man in love with Anne Trulove, wishes to marry her. His life, however, changes radically when he meets Nick Shadow, who informs him that a recently deceased unknown uncle has inherited a fortune. The young man leaves his beloved and goes to London with Shadow, who has offered to be his servant and help him resolve the issue of the inheritance, without salary, until a year and a day has passed. Already in London, Tom gives himself to a life of adventures, fun and debauchery, all organized by his servant. As the year and a day pass, Shadow reveals his true identity and demands his wages: Rakewell's soul. He proposes to play a game of cards to decide the fate of his "patron", a challenge that Tom accepts and wins. Shadow, furious, takes revenge on him making him lose his mind.
