Overview
Ms. Isabel Archer isn't afraid to challenge societal norms. Impressed by her free spirit, her kindhearted cousin writes her into his fatally ill father's will.

However, the advantage of her affluence is called into question when she realizes the extent to which her money colors her relationships.
