What Chloe thinks is a documentary turns out to be a reality dating show set in 1812. Eight women are competing to snare Mr. Wrightman, the heir to a gorgeous estate, along with a $100,000 prize.

But the witty and dashing Mr. Wrightman proves to be a prize worth winning, even if it means the gloves are off...
