William is the eldest son of a wealthy family newly welcomed into the gentry, and on a rare visit to his former governess he falls hard for her maid. Emma returns his feelings, but polite society has little patience for anyone who defies tradition, and their relationship meets opposition on every side. Emma and William must confront an impossible question: can their bond survive when society demands they choose loyalty to their class over loyalty to each other?
