Summary
In the somber coastal expanse, the spirited Pegeen O'Barry navigates a life shadowed by a benevolent yet inebriated father and the cruel machinations of her stepmother, Moll. This fragile existence shatters with her father's tragic demise in a drunken skirmish, casting Pegeen into a profound abyss of grief that draws her instinctively to the tumultuous shore. It is there, amidst her raw sorrow, that she becomes an object of curiosity and then fascination for Sir Arthur Ormsby, an English aristocrat whose yacht serendipitously glides along the very coast. A swift, almost fantastical transition ensues, plucking Pegeen from her humble, grief-stricken origins into the gilded cage of Sir Arthur's sprawling estate. Her new life, a tapestry of luxury and newfound affection, appears idyllic until the unexpected arrival of Guy, Sir Arthur's dissolute and opportunistic brother, whose presence threatens to unravel the delicate fabric of Pegeen's precarious happiness and expose the latent vulnerabilities within her adopted world.
