Edinburgh, 1810. Teachers Jane and Marianne realize their dream of independence by opening their own school. Their world is disrupted by the arrival of fifteen-year-old Jane, a girl from India who struggles to fit in. A fragile bond gradually forms, but rising tension and blurred boundaries lead to an accusation that grows into a long-standing scandal and legal dispute. Inspired by true events, the story reveals the power of prejudice and the price of personal freedom.
