It is March 1921. Mary Jorjorian is a New York transplant, twenty years old, living with her older sister and brother-in-law in Jacksonville, Florida. And, to no one’s surprise, she has found herself in love with family friend and boarder, Daniel Eliseian. Daniel is a 26-year-old tailor, a talented violinist, and kindred spirit for Mary. But life is complicated. And feelings aren't always expressed clearly. So, even more suddenly than she's fallen in love, Mary finds herself heartbroken. The misunderstanding takes place among friends, family, and colleagues, who are trying to find their places in life, love, and career.
