At just 21, this art student finds her life turned upside down when her father inherits Mellor Park, their ancestral estate in the Midlands. Reluctantly leaving behind her studies, her cherished pursuits, and her friends, she embarks on a new chapter determined to uplift the impoverished community around her.
