Journalist Sonia Gupta attends an unusual political event in the quiet town of Barchester. Thus begins an entanglement in a web of political intrigue, family secrets and unexpected discoveries. As the election draws near, she uncovers the hidden histories of powerful local figures, including the newly revealed Duke, Darcus Palliser. His arrival has been supported by the head of the Flashman family, Sir Jasper, whose daughter Sylvia does her best to adjust to the situation. Amid the political drama Sonia also faces personal challenges and complex relationships particularly with her new friend Haleh and her parliamentary contact Victoria. As election night looms, the stakes get higher, and Sonia must decide where her loyalties lie - with the truth, her career, or those closest to her. In a world where power, family, and politics collide, nothing is as it seems.
