Julia Bernay is a young nurse who dreams of obtaining her medical degree from the prestigous London School of Medicine for Women. Unfortunately this same institution is under legal investigation and in danger of closing it's doors forever. By a strange coincidence Julia is on a train during a horrific accident and saves the life of barrister Michael Stephenson. Stephenson just happens to be one of the lawyers working on the case against the London School of Medicine for Women. As the two are thrown together, learn about each other and develop a relationship things get mighty confused. Not to mention Micahel's sister Corrina's plans to get him engaged to the lovely socialite Laura. This story shows the class distinctions of the day in the 1880s in London, England and the role women were stuffed into. Julia is one of the brave few who stepped out of the mold as she dared to dream of greater things for herself and other women. As Michael delves deeper into his case he can't help but see the remarkable woman Julia is and second guesses himself in his involvement in the suit. But will he find the courage to stand against his law firm, his family and friends to forge ahead on a new path?
