Behind the velvet curtain of New York society, a young painter’s return stirs old friendships, ambition, and a touch of romance.
A sketch from turn-of-the-century high society follows Beverly Winthrop, a charming host who dreams of something more than the annual cotillions, and Jim Lee, a gifted artist returning from Paris with plans to launch his career and reputation. As the pair navigate invitations, rivalries, and the lure of Miss Trever, the story threads through art, society, and the tricky games people play for status and love.
