A young, bright woman from a family of modest means aspires to be a writer, defying the social conventions of her time. Her life is complicated when she meets a charming but roguish young man. A spirited and intellectual connection forms between them, challenging her preconceived notions about love and marriage and threatening to derail a more sensible, secure match that her family has arranged for her.
