Helen Newbridge was once the toast of London society. Born into a family of rich nobles, she had seen all kinds of luxury that money could bring.
She was fawned over by the mothers of most of the eligible bachelors of the town.
Her famous beauty fetched her more attention than she cared for.
Though haughty and proud by nature due to her upbringing, she did not want to bind herself by the rules of society.
Incidentally falling in love with a social outcast Lewis, gave her the opportunity to defy her aristocratic father and escape the clutches of a forced engagement.
But when it mattered the most, she erred in her judgement and lost her love.
Today she regrets and keeps questioning what-if?
Now confined to bed with failing health, she sees her daughter about to suffer the same fate.
Ethel has always detested her mother for her cold behavior towards her.
She is a free spirit and finds more pleasure in exploring the country wild side than dressed up for balls.
In an attempt to mend bridges with Ethel, she narrates her life's story on each visit of her daughter.
When she departs, she leaves her daughter to decide how to judge her.
Will Ethel also regret like her mother or learn her lesson?
