Moving amongst the highest social circles in Britain, Jane managed to secure a place in the upper classes, only to lose her job with the Duchess after nine years of service.

Still reeling from her fall from grace, Jane went on to meet charismatic businessman Thomas Cressman (Ed Speleers) and fell deeply in love. Soon cracks began to develop in the romance Jane had pinned all her hopes on, with disastrous consequences.
