Forbidden adultery in 1870’s England.

James and Emma are happily married living their busy lives during the Franco-Prussian War. James is a highly acclaimed solicitor in Her Majesty’s Courts, and is well-connected. Jack, a captain in the French Army, surprises the married couple with an unexpected visit.

Jack joins the solicitor and wife’s lives at a time when their marriage is the norm for the era–and at a time when adultery is forbidden. A Victorian couple explores the boundaries of their marriage far beyond society’s idea of the "norm".
