Edward is raised in poverty by his mother, but when Lord Norland dies, he inherits a large fortune and is able to live a life of luxury. However, he struggles to find his place in society and is haunted by his illegitimate status. As he tries to navigate his new life, he falls in love with a woman named Louisa, but their relationship is threatened by the disapproval of Louisa's father and Edward's own inner demons.
