The Radlett family rules their rural estate with spectacular disregard for convention. Eldest daughter Linda blazes through a series of scandalous love affairs, shocking local society with her brazen choices. Her sister Fanny watches and chronicles the family's wild escapades, serving as both participant and bemused observer. As Linda's romantic entanglements grow increasingly complex, the Radletts careen between social embarrassment and aristocratic defiance. Each family member becomes a force of unpredictable energy, challenging the stifling expectations of their era. Their world is a pressure cooker of wit, rebellion, and barely contained passion.
