London, 1914. Two young women dream of breaking free from tradition and obligation. Suffragettes are on the march and war looms, but at 35 Park Lane, Lady Masters, head of a dying industrial dynasty insists that life is about service and duty. Below stairs, eighteen year-old Grace Campbell is struggling. Her family believe she is a secretary, but she took the only job she could find - third housemaid in the Park Lane mansion. Asked to send home more money than she earns, Grace is soon entangled in an ever-thickening web of lies. Upstairs, a jilted and humiliated Beatrice Masters is determined not to return to the New York of her childhood before she has salvaged her pride. She secretly joins Emmeline Pankhurst's militant suffragettes and is steadily drawn into the violence rocking the city - and in the path of a man her mother wouldn't allow through the front door. Neither girl really grasps that the coming war will change the boundaries of both their worlds for ever.
