When Trilby meets Lewis, the all-powerful proprietor of a newspaper group, she suspects that her life might be about to change, but not, as it happens, forever. For not only does Lewis wish to acquire her cartoon strip, but also Trilby herself.
Trilby is inevitably drawn to this handsome, older, and far more sophisticated personality, just as Lewis is, from the outset, determined to marry Trilby, despite opposition. But Trilby finds that once they return home from their honeymoon, Lewis starts to change, revealing himself to be insanely possessive. It is not long before she discovers that Lewis will go to any lengths to keep Trilby locked in his life.
Quite by chance she discovers the real reason for her husband's unforgivable behaviour. Trilby must come to terms with the truth about Lewis, and, more importantly, herself, before she can experience the kind of carefree happiness she once knew before her marriage.
