In the autumn of 1903, newlyweds Molly and Daniel Sullivan embark on a belated honeymoon, accepting an invitation to a cottage on the opulent Hannan estate in Newport. What begins as a romantic escape soon takes a turn when they become entangled in the affairs of a wealthy New York City alderman and his family. As Molly navigates the stark contrasts between her own immigrant background and the privileged lives of the Hannans, she uncovers secrets that threaten to unravel the seemingly perfect facade.
