In 1880s Fellburn, Hector Stewart and Moira Connelly enter a marriage of convenience because each mistakenly believes the other possesses the money needed to secure a comfortable future. Their bargain quickly becomes a household of disappointment, secrecy and competing claims, while Moira’s relationship with Daniel is constrained by duty and fear.
Children and dependants grow up inside the consequences of that original deception. As financial pressure and possessiveness intensify, violence transforms the family, leaving the next generation to survive a legacy created by pride and the determination to preserve appearances.
