Set against the backdrop of 1880s America, this bittersweet tragicomedy explores a complex love triangle involving Basil Ransom, a conservative lawyer; Olive Chancellor, a passionate feminist; and Verena Tarrant, Olive's captivating apprentice. The story delves into themes of feminism and political allegiance, as Ransom and Olive vie for Verena's loyalty. With a colorful cast of political activists and journalists, the narrative highlights the tension between personal desires and societal expectations, while subtly hinting at Olive's unexpressed feelings for Verena.
