XIX a. pabaigos Šiaurės Airija. Vasaros lygiadienis. Dvaro šeimininkė Freken Julija ir patarnautojas Jonas ima šnekučiuotis virtuvėje: išgeria taurelę kitą, juokauja, leidžiasi šokti. Tačiau tai, kas iš pradžių rodėsi visai nekalta, tampa nevaldomos aistros, ilgai slėpto švelnumo ir atviros kovos naktimi. Nei vienas iš jų nežino, ką atneš aušra, tačiau išgyvendami paskutines nakties akimirkas drauge, jiedu bando perprasti tai, kas neperprantama – jinai jį, o jis ją.
A young woman is hired as a maid to an heiress who lives a secluded life on a large countryside estate with her domineering uncle. But, the maid has a secret: she is a pickpocket recruited by a swindler posing as a gentleman to help him seduce the heiress to elope with him, rob her of her fortune, and lock her up in a madhouse. The plan seems to proceed according to plan until the women discover some unexpected emotions.
A tale of secrets and scandals set in 1840s London. When the Trenchards accept an invitation to the now legendary ball hosted by the Duchess of Richmond on the fateful evening of the Battle of Waterloo, it sets in motion a series of events that will have consequences for decades to come as secrets unravel behind the porticoed doors of London’s grandest postcode.
