The eldest son, Lord Silverbridge, is a young and impulsive member of Parliament who falls in love with an American heiress. The second son, Gerald, is a talented artist who struggles to find his place in society. The youngest son, Lord Gerald, is a student at Oxford and the apple of his mother's eye. Meanwhile, the Duke's only daughter, Lady Mary, is engaged to a wealthy and respectable man but finds herself drawn to a younger and more exciting suitor. As the family grapples with their own desires and responsibilities, they must also contend with the expectations and judgments of society.
