Based on Henry James' 1877 novel, this story is set in the post-Civil War era when an American, Christopher Newman (Matthew Modine), arrives in Paris where he is more than a little impressed with European society. Christopher falls in love with Claire (Aisling O'Sullivan), but her mother Madame de Bellegarde (Diana Rigg) and her older brother Valentin (Andrew Scott) oppose Claire's marriage to Christopher because he does not represent French aristocracy. The problem might be solved when Christopher gains evidence that Madam de Bellegarde may have murdered her husband, and he finds himself in the position of blackmailing his way into European society.
