Montreal, 1951. Rebecca, 18, a bright college student, lives with her working-class parents. At a local dance, she meets a handsome young man, the son of a wealthy businessman. When Sol introduces Rebecca to a world of upper-class wealth and privilege, Rebecca falls head over heels in love and believes her life is perfect.

He reveals the simmering conflicts in his family and his fears that his brother plans to drive him out of the family business. Rebecca, headstrong but naïve, wants to protect Sol but helping him stand up to the pressure from his family, puts her squarely in the midst of it all.
During their engagement, a shocking family secret of child abuse comes to the surface. Rebecca tries to convince Sol that her love and support is all he needs.
