His private life and public persona are two separate entities and when these two worlds collide he is thrown into turmoil, all in his own making.

While he attempts to recover what has been lost, those close to him are forces to re-evaluate their relationship with him and their own lives. While his wife Violet sets out to establish in a male world at any cost, his brilliant leading lady Marguerite Davenport is forced to face her own demons.

 Isolated, his career and his theatre are in jeopardy, Edmund decides to take a drastic step.
