Featuring a stacked cast, including the likes of Millie Gibson, Stephen Moyer, Jack Davenport, Eleanor Tomlinson and Tuppence Middleton, the series follows the titular stockbroking family as their generations are torn between tradition and personal happiness.

The synopsis for the series says: "Family stability is threatened by two chance encounters for rival cousins, Jolyon and Soames, throwing their previously steady lives into disarray. Married Jolyon contends with the reappearance of his former lover, Louisa, a lady’s maid-turned-dressmaker, while daughter June falls for a penniless architect.

"Soames, meanwhile, is enchanted by the beautiful and free-spirited dancer Irene. All must decide whether to be ruled by the head or the heart."
