Holcombe Hall, 1931
Florrie Bickerstaff has finally settled in as the new Housekeeper of Holcombe Hall and life is feeling rosy both at work and home, as she enjoys the attention of her sweetheart, Thom.
Meanwhile Sir Richard, Holcombe Hall's illustrious owner, remains trapped in his loveless marriage to Lady Charlotte. Though the couple have been blessed with a young son and heir, William.
But in the early hours of Christmas morning, William is found missing, with a ransom note left in his place and the house thrown into a frenzy.
