It is the era of the 1950's-1960's, when young women are expected to marry by the age of twenty-five, or be considered an 'old maid'. Anna moves to Toronto to pursue her career, surrounded by other ambitious young women who remain friends for life. After tumultuous relationships and heartbreak, she plans a trip to Paris to move forward with her life. Just before she is about to leave, she meets Grant, who sweeps her off her feet.
