The popular series about the Bridgerton family goes back in time to the late 18th century to the young Billie Bridgerton, whose temperament will later manifest itself in many generations to come. Billie is opinionated, doesn't act like a lady, and spent her entire childhood roaming the countryside with the Rokesby brothers. It was assumed that she would eventually marry one of them. Only the third, the oldest, is not suitable for her, and she wouldn't want him anyway, not for anything. George is so uptight and boring. As they gradually begin to get to know each other, they see each other in an increasingly favorable light, but before they can say anything to each other, the family is threatened with a tragic loss - Edward Rokesby is missing in the American war and quite possibly dead...
