Helen boards the "Baltic" seeking solace from her father's upsetting new marriage and the sting of a past romance with John Glynn, who appears to be falling for someone else. As she departs, haunted by loneliness and memories, the vibrant Miss Posey Winstanley bursts into her life, promising new connections and unforeseen social entanglements on the ship, signaling a journey of self-discovery amidst love, identity, and the dramas of high society at sea.
