Description

James Philip Desboro, a wealthy Westchester bachelor seeking purpose, meets Mrs Clydesdale again: once the object of his affection, now trapped in a cold marriage. Their reunion stirs forbidden feeling under society’s eye and forces him to weigh loyalty, desire, and the life he still hopes to claim. Manners as a trap: duty arguing with a past that will not stay buried.
