When newly married Clementine comes to sit for a portrait, Ellen learns she is looking for a lady's companion.Longing for a life of her own choosing and freedom from the deals her brother has made, Ellen accepts the post.The new position transports her to a sweeping white-fronted townhouse on one of Brighton's most prestigious crescents, full of every luxury imaginable.
