At the Hamilton estate in Concord, Massachusetts, Edith Adelon, a beautiful orphan, lives as the paid companion to the family's daughter, Amy. Years ago, Henry Hamilton saved Edith from an Italian orphanage and now she's his daughter's prized friend and confidante. As the family awaits visitors for the annual horse race, Beatrice asks Edith to help find a husband for her cousin, Ida. However, both suitors develop feelings for Edith, not Ida, leading to jealousy and scheming. Despite growing love for one suitor, their social classes make their love impossible, forcing Edith to navigate her position in the household and society.
