Millie's fiance had been 'stolen' by her sister, Esme, leaving Millie to live at home, caring for her father. But when he dies in 1891, she's left without a penny and goes to live with Esme and Leo as a domestic. Leo wastes no time in revealing to Millie that he still loves her, more than he ever loved her sister. And Esme is looking elsewhere too, indulging in clandestine meetings with a man whom she knows only as Wally. Keen to become independent of her heartless sister, Millie is excited to meet Polly, a risque star at Tappers Supper House. Poppy invites Millie to come and share her luxurious flat - paid for by her married lover, Henry Granger. Not surprisingly, complications arise; and respected Victorian Member of Parliament Henry W. Granger is not as morally upstanding as he would like us to believe...
