Lady Susan (Kate Beckinsale) lost her husband forever not long ago. She moved from Langford to the Chapel Hill Manor where her brother-in-law Charles (Justin Edwards) lived to recuperate. Charles' wife Catherine (Emma Greenwell) did not like Lady Susan. In the eyes of this woman, she saw too much ambition. But Catherine's brother Kinnard (Xavier Samuel) was fascinated by this charming woman. Although Mrs. Susan expressed her pure love for Kinnard, it was just acting for her. In fact, she had a lover named Mannerin (Lochlainn O'Mearain) as early as the Langford period.
