1930, the Isle of Doga. Young Lily Bright works long hours on the market stall, selling furniture and bric-a-brac in order to make ends meet. When a handsome stranger approaches in search of a bargin, it's love at first sight. Swept off her feet, Lily falls head over heels for the debonair Charles Grey - only to discover too late, that he is not what he seems, and that she has made a terrible mistake.
