A desperate couple. An isolated estate. And a high-born aristocrat with a very specific set of rules.
Out of work and running out of options, David and Ruth think their luck has finally turned when they are hired as domestic staff for Lady Elena Capel-Clifford. Tucked away in a grand countryside estate, the all-female household seems like the perfect refuge. But Lady Elena and her sharp-tongued, nineteen-year-old daughter, Annabelle, have a very particular vision for their new servants.
While Ruth fits in seamlessly, David quickly learns that his duties require a radical departure from his old life. The two aristocratic ladies begin a systematic transformation. It starts with small adjustments to David's posture and behaviour, but soon escalates into a complete, elegant makeover.
