The story is set in Victorian England and follows the life of a young woman named Mildred who is forced to marry a man she does not love. Mildred's husband, Sir John, is a wealthy and powerful man who is more interested in his own social status than in his wife's happiness. As Mildred struggles to adjust to her new life, she finds solace in the company of her friend, Lady Emily, who encourages her to pursue her own interests and passions. However, when Mildred's husband discovers her growing independence, he becomes increasingly controlling and abusive, leading Mildred to question whether she can ever truly be free.
