In the 17th century village of Ashcroft, Eliza Davenport, a dedicated 16-year-old managing her family's farm, shares a secret love with Thomas, the farmhand. Their bond offers solace amidst her daily chores and village life.

When wealthy suitor Mr. John Hartley arrives seeking a wife to manage his estate, Eliza's family sees financial relief in his proposal. Torn between her love for Thomas and her duty to her family, Eliza reluctantly agrees to explore a future with Mr. Hartley.

Visiting his well-appointed farm, Eliza is drawn to the comfort and security he offers, yet doubts about her feelings and the sacrifices she must make arise. As she navigates societal expectations and her own desires, "Bound by Duty" explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the complexities of duty in a world shaped by tradition and practicality.
