Riassunto

After the unexpected death of her husband, Nelly Grace moved with her two young children to the privileged horse-breeding world in the Baltimore countryside. While struggling to build a new life, Nelly finds herself swept up in the traditions and social politics of this insular world. Emma, the matriarch of the fox-hunting community, offers Nelly guidance and friendship until past and present secrets begin to unfold.
Encouraged by Emma and her grown son, Dac, Nelly rekindles her desire to become a photojournalist, like her father. As she sets to work, though, she realizes that her ability with the camera is tangled up with her feelings about her husband's death as well as with her feelings about her father, a man who has allowed fame and ambition to come before his family. Then her father comes to visit, and Nelly's fragile new beginning is thrown into chaos.
