Spend a season in glamorous 1895 Newport with three women looking for purpose and love.

Lucy Scarpelli, an Italian dressmaker from New York, befriends socialite Rowena Langdon as she's making her summer wardrobe. It's an unlikely friendship, but one that Rowena encourages by inviting Lucy to the family mansion in Newport, Rhode Island. Grateful for Lucy's skill in creating clothes that hide her physical injury, Rowena encourages Lucy to dream of a better future

One day Lucy encounters an intriguing man on the Cliff Walk, and love begins to blossom. Yet Lucy resists, for what Newport man would be interested in an Italian dressmaker working to support her family?

Rowena faces an arranged marriage to a wealthy heir she doesn't love. Dare a crippled girl hope for better?

And Lucy's teenage sister, Sofia, takes up with a man of dubious character. Can love blossom? Should it?

As the lives of three young women--and their unlikely suitors--become entangled in a web of secrets and sacrifice, will the season end with any of them finding true happiness?
