Sebastian y Viola, dos jóvenes hermanos que heredarán en un futuro no muy lejano la mansión de Chevron, con todas sus deslumbrantes pero envaradas costumbres, están a punto de dejar atrás la adolescencia y adentrarse en los entresijos de la alta sociedad inglesa bajo la atenta mirada de su aristocrática y severa madre, Lucy. Sin embargo, la irrupción de un impetuoso aventurero llamado Leonard Anquetil en una de las recepciones familiares trastocará irremediable y definitivamente sus vidas. El mundo que les espera promete amantes, exquisitas fiestas y entrañables tradiciones ligadas a la mansión rural y al servicio, pero también dobleces e hipocresías, reclusión y artificialidad. Todavía están a tiempo de tomar las riendas de su existencia, les recuerda Anquetil, pero ¿sabrán elegir sabiamente su camino?
