Lady Windermere believes her husband is beyond reproach—until a mysterious woman enters their elegant London world. Mrs. Erlynne appears with intimate knowledge of the Windermeres' private affairs, threatening to expose a devastating secret that could destroy the family's reputation. As whispers of potential infidelity circulate through high society, Lady Windermere must decide whether to trust her husband or protect her own social standing.
