Radioactive on kertomus puolalais-syntyisen Marie Curien (os. Sklodowska) kestävästä perinnöstä aina 1870-luvulta nykyaikaan asti - intohimoisia suhteita, tieteellisiä läpimurtoja ja seurauksia hänelle itselleen ja koko maailmalle. Tavattuaan toisen tutkijan, Pierre Curien, Marie meni naimisiin, ja yhdessä he muuttivat tieteen kasvot lopullisesti löytämällä radioaktiivisuuden. Curieiden löytöjen nerokkuus ja niitä seurannut Nobel-palkinto toivat pariskunnan kansainväliseen valokeilaan. Marie Curie ei elämänsä aikana antanut meriittiä naiseudelleen tai sille, että hän oli ensimmäinen naispuolinen professori arvostetussa pariisilaisessa yliopistossa tai ensimmäinen Nobelin palkinnon naispuolinen voittaja, ja edelleen ainoa nainen, jolle on myönnetty kaksi Nobelin palkintoa. Curien työ ja saavutukset saivat arvostusta hänen elämänsä aikana, mutta arvostus pioneerinaisena varsin miehiseksi mielletyllä alalla on tajuttu vasta hänen kuolemansa jälkeen.

Avioituessaan menestyvän pariisilaisen kirjailija ”Willyn” kanssa Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette tempautuu lapsuutensa maisemista Ranskan maaseudulta keskelle Pariisin loistoa ja taiteilijoiden seurapiirejä. Willy suostuttelee Coletten ryhtymään haamukirjoittajakseen. Hän kirjoittaa romaanin nuoresta, fiksusta ja häpeilemättömästä maalaistyttö Claudinesta, joka pohjautuu osittain hänen omaan elämäänsä ja josta tulee valtava sensaatio. Kirjan menestyksen johdosta Colettesta ja Willystä tulee Pariisin kuumin puheenaihe ja heidän seikkailunsa innoittavat lisää Claudine-tarinoita. Coletten taistelu omien tekijänoikeuksiensa ja jähmeiden sukupuoliroolien murtamisen puolesta myllertää yhteiskunnan kirjoittamattomia sääntöjä ja synnyttää vallankumouksen kirjallisuudessa, muodissa ja sukupuolen ilmaisussa.

Vanheneva kulttuuripariskunta odottaa puhelinsoittoa ja viestiä mahdollisesta kirjallisuuden Nobel-palkinnosta. Vaimo yrittää rauhoitella kärsimätöntä miestä, mutta on itsekin pakahtua, kun puhelu lopulta tulee. Puolisoilla on pitkään ollut selkeä työnjako. Mies hoitaa menestyskirjojen mukanaan tuoman julkisuuden ja verkostoitumisen. Vaimo mahdollistaa sen maailman silmissä hoitamalla kotia ja perhettä ja komppaamalla miehen esiintymisiä neuvoillaan ja ulkoasun hiomisella. Hän on ollut miehensä täydellisin asuste lähes neljän vuosikymmenen ajan. Jollakin tavalla asiat eivät kuitenkaan ole samoin kuin ennen. Nobel-palkinto on jotain sellaista, minkä puolesta kumpikin on paiskinut töitä. Mutta työ on ollut oma palkkionsa. Nyt mies saa - aikaisemmastakin huomiosta huolimatta - jonkinlaisen kulminaation uralleen. Mitä saa palkakseen hänen rinnallaan seisonut ja häntä eteenpäin ajanut vaimo?
