After scandalising his family name, wealthy brat Hugo is kicked out of his parent's home in NYC, and tossed into the English countryside. There, he must live with his extended family and learn what it means to be a "gentleman," or be cut off and left without his inheritance. Brattish, reckless, and out of control, it seems that Hugo may never learn his manners. That is, until he meets his match: a stoic, no-nonsense valet, Sebastian. Hugo and Sebastian are swept up in a forbidden fling, and they play a game of power. Can Sebastian get a handle on his master? Or will Hugo's foolishness leave him penniless?
