Benedict, the third son of the widowed Violet Bridgerton, prefers life as an artist and bohemian rather than pursuing romance. At a masquerade ball he encounters a mysterious 'woman in silver' who captivates him and leaves a glove before midnight, creating a Cinderella parallel. Benedict sets out to find the glove's owner but searches in the wrong place because she is not who she appears to be. The series retells fairytales with love, scandals, balls and costumes while mixing in a modern zeitgeist. Historical accuracy is downplayed in favor of a luxurious, inclusive fantasy portrayal of early 19th-century England.
