She must choose between her father's fortune... Or the man she loves.

DramaRomance

Set in 1870's New York, a spinster heiress is courted by a much younger, penniless man, much to the chagrin of her over-protective father, and must decide whether to spend the rest of her life alone, or marry a man who is interested in her only because of her inheritence.

VIBE

A quiet, introspective drama steeped in 19th-century New York society. It feels like a hushed conversation, exploring the stifling expectations placed upon a young woman and the quiet desperation of her choices.
