Nella is desperate to save the family and maintain appearances,to find Thea a husband who will guarantee her future,and when they receive an invitation to Amsterdam's most exclusive ball,she is overjoyed - perhaps this will set their fortunes straight. And indeed,the ball does set things spinning: new figures enter their life,promising new futures.
