Nobody's Widow

Roxanna is a woman whose pride is as sharp as her wit. After discovering her husband, British official John Clayton, in what appears to be a compromising embrace with another woman, she doesn't just demand a divorce; she erases his existence. Fleeing the stifling social expectations of England for the relative freedom of America, Roxanna reinvented herself as a grieving, glamorous widow. She finds refuge with her friend Betty, whose social circle is quickly captivated by the tragic mystery of Roxanna’s 'late' husband. Among them is Ned, a man whose interest in Roxanna threatens to spark a rivalry with the already smitten Betty. However, the facade of widowhood crumbles when John Clayton arrives on American soil. Rather than confessing his identity and risking a public scene, John leans into the absurdity, adopting the persona of the Duke of Morebay. He begins a surreal courtship of his own wife, competing with Ned and forcing Roxanna into a high-stakes game of social chicken where the first person to admit the truth loses everything.
