London, 1907. A world of parties and balls among the circle of the Prince Regent’s friends. They fight amongst themselves, have their own battles for dominance, everybody for themselves. Alliances must be made, and everybody knows that a good alliance needs a marriage. But what about love? Who actually likes their arranged marriage? Who yearns for something else? Who wasn’t betrothed, and is free, and has their own feelings. Who’s just there to insult everybody?
Meanwhile, not far away, the slums are large and person-filled. It is very different in the economically poor rest of the country, and yet the same love and the complications it brings fills the slums and makes life much more complicated for everyone.
And what about when these worlds collide? What will happen? What about the poor who try to become the rich, and the rare rich who tries to become one of the poor? What of love between the two groups?
