1901, Wiltshire. Young Kathleen Keller is being forced into marriage
with a man she despises by her cruel father. In an act of desperation,
she runs away in a bid for a safer life, although one she might not have
otherwise have chosen. But when tragedy strikes, Kathleen is left
vulnerable and one man threatens the fragile peace she has made for
herself.
Meanwhile, Nathan Perry works for his father's accountancy firm but
yearns for something more satisfying. He is brought in to help with the
purchase of Honeyfield House, intended as a safe house for women in
trouble by a charitable benefactor, and there encounters Kathleen. Their
lives are set to intertwine and neither will be the same again.
