Harriet Peabody, a hopeful shop girl in 1882 New York City, aspires to open a boutique that sells refashioned gowns to other independent working women.

Though Harriet intends to end the staged romance, a threat from her past intertwines their fates, revealing that love—and ambition—can appear in unexpected forms. Their journey challenges their preconceptions about relationships, career, and the price of success in a rapidly modernizing city.
