In Edinburgh in the 1930s, the Lennox family struggles with its youngest daughter, Esme, who is seen as outspoken and unconventional and repeatedly causes embarrassment in polite society. Years later, Iris Lockhart learns that she has a great-aunt, Esme Lennox, who has been confined in a psychiatric unit for most of her life and is now due to be released, prompting Iris to investigate the circumstances behind Esme's long institutionalization and her family's deliberate erasure of her existence.
