A historical and romantic adventure woven around the story of
Florence Nightingale. Gervase Howard is in her mid-teens when her
working-class mother dies and she must go to live with relatives in
service to a wealthy, noble family, outside of London. While
learning various jobs, she is drawn to the eldest son, Davis. Her
fascination with him grows deeper, but more hopeless, since the two
are separated not just by class, but also by Davis s love for
Roberta. When Davis announces his engagement, he asks Gervase to
join them as Roberta s maid. But instead Gervase becomes a
companion to Florence Nightingale and accompanies her when the
Crimean War breaks out and she is asked to create a corps of
nurses. On the field, Gervase crosses paths with Davis, who has
become disillusioned in his marriage and is drawn to her warmth and
care. Both know, however, there is nothing more for them than
friendship. Upon her return to England, Gervase receives word that
Davis has been seriously injured in a fall and is asked to nurse
him back to health. As he regains consciousness, he reveals
shocking news that plunges them both into danger."
