Can love survive when only keepsakes remain?

Pilot Sumner Hemmings has returned from The Great War. By day, he reluctantly works in his father's bank. By night, he visits the seedier side of Los Angeles to drown his memories in secret underground barrooms. After catching a glimpse of the stunning girl next door, his bliss is measured by clandestine moments watching her through his bedroom window. Could the allegations about her be true? Could Madeleine Crawford even comprehend his desire?

Madeleine has led a sheltered life. Once Sumner provides a view of the world, she is determined to live on her own terms, even if that results in a compromised future.

Visit the roaring twenties through Sumner and Madeleine's eyes as their story unfolds across the decade.
