In the genteel squares of late-Victorian Brighton , Ellen and Reynold Harper - twins, companions, colleagues - ply their trade as portrait photographers. But at the golden hour, the models arrive to pose for the lucrative - and illicit - photographs that really keep the Harpers'' business afloat.

When Ellen is drawn into the orbit of unhappy newly-wed Clementine , she finds herself torn between loyalty to her brother, her dangerous attraction to new model, Lily , and her burgeoning friendship with Clem. And as the two worlds of Brighton collide, the three women discover that there is only a knife edge between the promise of freedom, and the threat of ruin . . .
