β¦ Synopsis
It's London, 1872, where 17-year-old heiress Leonora Somerville is preparing to be presented to upper upper-class society β again. She's strikingly beautiful and going to be very rich, but Leo has a problem money canβt solve. A curious speech disorder causes her to stutter but also allows her to imitate other peopleβs voices flawlessly. Servants and ladies alike call her βMad Miss Mimicβ behind her backβ¦and watch as Leo unintentionally scares off one potential husband after another. London is also a city gripped by opium fever. Leoβs brother-in-law Dr. Dewhurst and his new business partner Francis Thornfax are frontrunners in the race to patent an injectable formula of the drug. Friendly, forthright, and as a bonus devastatingly handsome, Thornfax seems immune to the gossip about Leoβs βmadness.β But their courtship is endangered from the start. The mysterious Black Glove opium gang is setting off explosions across the city....
