Charleston, 1799: A daughter of Southern gentility and a gifted painter, Catherine Harcourt has no lack of suitors at home in Virginia waiting to fulfill her dreams.

Bedridden with a broken leg, he asks Cay to fill in for him on an urgent task: on her way to a fancy dress ball, she must deliver a packed horse to an escaped convict!
