Stephen Lumley returns from battle wounded and jaded, only to find his home life had been changed forever. Drowning his sorrows in liquor, he mistakenly blurts out his impassioned proposal to his sweetheart, Jane. Lady Jane Marwick fears she has wasted her love on the wrong man, and allows her mother to convince her to plan another London Season to find a husband. The only certainty in Stephen's life is his need for Jane's love. Now Stephen only has a few months to convince himself and Jane he is worthy of her, before she's off to London to find a man who is.
