In April 1903, Emma and Derrick Andrews attend a wedding at Bellevue Mansion, where they encounter Harry and Elizabeth "Bessie" Lehr, a lively couple with a reputation for mischief. When Bessie confides in Emma about her fears of her husband's potential plans to harm her, Emma agrees to look into the situation, blurring the lines between playful pranks and possible danger. The story explores themes of marriage, trust, and the thin line between deception and reality in a Gilded Age setting.
