1910, Bath, England. Hardworking & whip smart, Elizabeth Pennington is the rightful heir of Bath's premier department store, Pennington's. But her father, Edward Pennington, believes his daughter lacks the business acumen to run his empire. He is resolute a man will succeed him. Determined to break from her father's hold & prove she is worthy of inheriting Pennington's, Elizabeth makes two lifelong friends in Esther & Cornelia - who both work in the store. She also forms an unlikely alliance with ambitious & charismatic master glove-maker Joseph Carter. They have the same goal: bring Pennington's into a new decade while embracing women's equality & progression. But, despite their best intentions, it is almost impossible not to mix business & pleasure. Can Elizabeth, her friends, & the man she's increasingly falling in love with, thwart Edward Pennington's plans for the store?
