In November 1921, Madeline, a young French ward of the Duke of Belfield, escapes the gossip and rumors that haunt her in London, seeking refuge in the apparent tranquility of Belfield Hall. However, far from finding peace, she encounters Nathan Mallory, an attractive gamekeeper whose seduction techniques are overwhelming and addictive. The attraction between them is immediate and overflowing, unleashing a forbidden passion that defies the social conventions of the time. Simultaneously, Madeline discovers that her guardian harbors a secret love for Sophie, his former maid.
