Rebecca is recently married to Alexander who has promised to make her rich but already she is doubtful of him and his expectations of her. Rebecca's only ally is her maid Jenny who is as much alone in Edinburgh as she is. In may ways however Jenny is more worldly wise than her employer and tries to keep things in perspective for Rebecca.

Rebecca is fearful that Alexander is unfaithful to her and that the Eva whom she met at the opening of her husband's pharmacy is his mistress. Alexander has forbidden Rebecca from speaking to Eva though Eva wants to speak to her.

This is the start of what promises to be a complex and dark story set in nineteenth century Edinburgh.
