Some deals were meant to be broken. Blythe Davies is miserable. At 26 years old she has nothing to show for it. An spinster living in 1918 Birmingham, England working as a backroom inventory assistant to a haughty, uptight aristocrat in a tailor shop, Blythe is determined to work her way up the social ladder. She is bound to shove every snide comment and disdainful look thrown her way right back in the faces of those who sneer down their noses at her. When tragedy strikes Blythe is forced to make a deal with the very same kind of people she despises. Forced to turn her life around and dabble into the world of prohibited activities, she quickly realizes that she picked the short end of the sticks. However, she might not be in as deep as she thought she was. The very same stranger that she despises for getting her into these awful situations might prove himself different than the wolf in sheep's clothing Blythe thought he was. Gunfights. Racing. Prohibition. Gambling. Lovers. What else could go wrong?
