On a warm spring day in 1924, house maid and foundling Jane Fairchild finds herself alone on Mother's Day. Her employers, Mr. and Mrs. Niven, are out and she has the rare chance to spend quality time with her secret lover. Paul is the boy from the manor house nearby, Jane's long-term love despite the fact that he's engaged to be married to another woman, a childhood friend and daughter of his parents' friends. But events that neither can foresee will change the course of Jane's life forever.

Forget the usual sweeping period romance tropes in favor of a quiet, aching intimacy found in the stolen moments of a single afternoon. This sun-drenched drama trades grand spectacle for the heavy, unspoken tension between a housemaid and the man she cannot truly have.
