As one of Canada’s first female physicians, she yearns to start her own medical practice. Fleeing a conventional life, Clara marries a handsome stranger in haste, shortly discovering he has a crippling addiction. Turning from him, she finds comfort in another doctor with a complicated past of his own. In an age where a woman’s worth, rights, and choices are determined by her husband’s whim, will Clara be forced to bow to convention, or will she throw caution to the wind and follow her heart?
