Step into the opulent world of The Hotel Hamilton, where the chandelier sparkles while a maid's aspirations fade into the woodwork. Vancouver, Canada, 1927 . A hotel maid's duty is to never be seen. That's no problem for Clara, who finds safety in her station. But for her sister, Louisa, it's cold outside the limelight. Clara is content being an obliging working girl, but she doesn't feel worthy of the leadership responsibilities the hotel matron seems intent to thrust upon her. Torn between the unspoken limitations of her social standing and the demands of a fast-changing world, Clara is paralyzed by her fear of stepping out of line. Louisa, an aspiring actress, is grateful for her employment at the prestigious hotel, but the feeling that she is meant for more haunts her as she sleepwalks through her days. Though Louisa's ambitious nature yearns for a life in the theatre, she hasn't auditioned in months. When she finally steps back into the spotlight, she brings her demons along with her, unable to forget what happened the last time she was on stage. Already challenged with holding their family together, the sisters face the limits of their bond when prejudice and cruelty rear their dark heads. With Clara trapped in her comfortable cocoon and Louisa terrified of repeating the past, the sisters must learn from each other in order to stand against injustice and chart their own path through life.
