Jo Montfort, beautiful and wealthy, will soon graduate and marry one of the most sought-after and wealthy bachelors in New York. However, this is the last thing Jo desires. Her dream is to become a journalist for a newspaper. In addition to the struggle she must face against stereotypes and the demands of social class and her time, Jo is suddenly called upon to face a tragic event: her father is fatally injured while cleaning his revolver. Charles Montfort was one of the richest businessmen in New York, owner of a newspaper, partner in one of the largest shipping companies, and above all, a man too smart and careful to clean a loaded weapon - and Jo knows it.
Her efforts to uncover more about her father's death will lead her on a labyrinthine investigation full of anxiety and twists. Along her investigation, Jo will meet Eddie, a young charming journalist who works for her father's newspaper. With Eddie by her side, Jo will seek the truth about her father's death, discover a new world beyond the boundaries of her class, and experience love. Until she realizes how costly the price of truth and love can be.
