In 1926 the Inghams gather at Cavendon Hall to confront debts, damaged marriages and an uncertain succession. The estate has survived the First World War, but its inherited income and customs are no longer sufficient to secure its future, while family secrets threaten to divide those expected to preserve it.

Daphne, Deidre and Dulcie Ingham pursue sharply different lives, while Cecily Swann builds an independent career as a London fashion designer. Their decisions draw Cavendon into the changing world of the 1920s, but the Wall Street crash and the Great Depression place both the house and the new freedoms its women have claimed under renewed pressure.
