In the early 1930s, Maeve Fanning leaves her stifling and impoverished life in Boston to make her way in New York City. Things don't go as planned, and she ends up being committed to a psychiatric hospital after a suicide attempt. Upon release, she returns home to start over, still battling an addiction to alcohol. Disguising her red hair and Irish heritage, she secures a job at an antique shop filled with extravagant goods and wealthy customers. Maeve quickly realizes one of the customers was a fellow patient at the hospital and is blackmailed into an uneasy friendship with Diana Van der Laar. Maeve also fights her attraction to Diana's arrogant brother and starts an intimate correspondence with the antique shop's absent co-owner in an inevitable love triangle. Only by getting help and learning to rely on her own strength will Maeve be able to reinvent herself and truly realize a better life.
