When he dies, his will stipulates that his fortune should be divided between his two nieces, Emily and Julia, on the condition that they live in the house together for a year. The two women are very different: Emily is practical and sensible, while Julia is flighty and irresponsible. As they struggle to live together and manage the estate, they begin to uncover secrets about Mr. Davenant's past and the true nature of his fortune. Meanwhile, a young man named Jack appears on the scene, claiming to be Mr. Davenant's illegitimate son.
