The weight of history and tradition looms large, presenting her with a formidable challenge.

As Elizabeth navigates her new role, she finds guidance in Cecil Williams, her mentor, who helps her maneuver through the complex dynamics of power within the company. However, her most significant support comes from Robert Dunley, her childhood friend. Their undeniable chemistry complicates matters, especially since Robert is already married.
