Lottie Lane, a maid at the bustling inn The Two-Necked Swan in central London, knows nothing but hard work from morning to night and taunts from the ever-disgruntled innkeeper. One evening, the soldiers bring their friend to the inn, who has suffered a severe concussion and serious bruises. While Lottie dutifully cares for the young man and contributes to his speedy recovery, she discovers that she can devote her life to other, more beneficial work. And so when the unbridled and impulsive Lady Aurelie Dashwood, the wife of a British officer, offers her the place of her personal maid, Lottie, who longs to nurse soldiers wounded during the Crimean War, accepts without hesitation. After an adventurous voyage, he finds himself in Balaklava near Sevastopol, where he discovers both the horrors of war and the unsavory behavior of Britain's cream of the crop. A tragic event forces her to return to England, where she is threatened with a life on the streets or a workhouse. However, Lottie does not give up and thanks to her strength and determination, as well as the selfless support of her friends, she is able to take care not only of herself, but also of those who need it, and to find happiness and the meaning of life again...
