England, 1936. After the recent death of George V, the nation has a new king, Edward VIII. While another war threatens world peace, and unemployment is rampant in England, the nation has yet another secret to keep from its people: the new King's affair with a married American woman. In the midst of all this, a young woman, May, is starting a new life away from home. Working as a chauffeur for a kind and very busy government official, May is learning about life, secrets, and love. There's also Evangeline Nettlefold, a friend of the family May works for, and Wallis Simpson's old classmate and occasional confidante. But Evangeline's building resentment towards Mrs. Simpson may prove to be destructive for her.
