After acquiring tremendous wealth through perilous deeds for the Crown, Peregrine is cast into despair when his sovereign Charles II withdraws his favor and leaves him bankrupt. With an unwavering sense of duty, he vows to renounce his claim to their vows so that the Lady Barbara can secure her future by wedding a more prosperous suitor. However, she shocks society by defying convention and instead chooses to wed the ruined Peregrine. In a rare twist, she then uses her own wealth to finance her husband's return to court, hoping to reignite the king's favor and restore their social standing. However, her plan backfires as the fickle king continues to spurn Peregrine, casting doubt upon his honor and putting Lady Barbara's reputation at risk.
