Set against the backdrop of New York's 1910 glitter and grit, Vera Garland is set on making her mark in a man's world of serious journalism. Shortly after the world-famous Hope Diamond is acquired for a record sum, Vera begins investigating rumours about schemes by its new owner, jeweler Pierre Cartier, to manipulate its value. Appealing to a young Russian jeweler for help, Vera is unprepared when she begins falling in love with him - and even more unprepared when she gets caught up in his deceptions and finds herself at risk of losing all she has worked so hard to achieve.
