In 1845 London, Dr. Horace Croft takes in Nora, an eight-year-old girl who has lost her parents in the Cholera epidemic. Growing up in an unconventional household with Dr. Croft and his kindhearted housekeeper, Nora is immersed in the world of medicine, and becomes Dr. Croft's most trusted and knowledgeable assistant. She also discovers her own gifts for healing. But women are forbidden from practicing medicine, and when Dr. Croft welcomes a young medical student into the practice, Nora must assume an unfamiliar, and unwelcome role; that of a proper young lady. To follow her destiny she must risk not only her future, but also Dr. Croft's.
