Season One: Episodes 1-4
Episode One – A Promising Start:
After leaving Brynthwaite 15 years earlier, Jason Throckmorton has clawed his way to the top of the business world, making a name for himself as a hotelier. Now he is building a luxury hotel in Brynthwaite to draw wealthy tourists to the Lake District. But his real designs are on Lady Elizabeth, the woman he has obsessed about since he was a boy. Jason has a dark secret, though. But help comes in the form of the clever and insightful Flossie Stowe, a maid Jason hires to work in his hotel—a woman who harbors secrets of her own.
Dr. Marshall Pycroft left Brynthwaite to become a doctor, making a name for himself in London. When Brynthwaite Municipal Orphanage was converted into Brynthwaite Hospital, he returned home to head it, taking his London wife and three daughters with him. Marshall has his hands full between the understaffed, under-funded hospital and his shrewish, overbearing wife. Until Dr. Alexandra Dyson, a lady in her own right as well as a qualified doctor, ask to work with him. But Alexandra’s mother has other plans for her disobedient doctor—plans that could land the hospital in hot water.
Lawrence Smith never truly left Brynthwaite. As the local blacksmith, he plays a pivotal role in town, but as a well-known hedonist and reputed practitioner of old, pagan ways, he is both a subject of fascination and speculation.

At the hotel, Jason is beside himself as one thing after another goes wrong, and all when Lady Elizabeth is only minutes away from paying him a visit. Flossie is quick to find solutions to each problem the hotel faces, but in doing so, she creates a problem that Jason might not be able to fix.
