Hilliard, facing issues relating to the death of his father, and his relationship with a sister-in-law and her daughter, decides to start a new life when he unexpectedly receives money. The story looks deep into issues of what's right and wrong, the desire to achieve something, and the complicated relationships between people from different social classes through Hilliard's experiences and his growing interest in the mysterious Eve Madeley.
