In early 1920s New York, during the height of the Victorian Gilded Age, when fortunes were made and most young women dreamt of the most eligible bachelor, Pandora Carmichael dreams of becoming a fashion designer and achieving the independency forbidden to women of the time. Her main impediment is that she does not belong to the right family.
Pandora begins a journey of love and ambition that takes her from the rolling hills of Hyde Park, New York to 1920s Manhattan.
