In 1898, Cairo is a vibrant city under British rule, where Lady Askham arrives with her daughters, Flora and Melanie, to meet Harry Lighterman, a lieutenant in the Lancers. Harry seeks to marry Melanie, but his family's humble origins as part of the 'shopocracy' clash with the Askhams' aristocratic status. Despite initial reservations, the marriage is hastily approved as the Lancers prepare for deployment to Omdurman. However, trouble brews even before their journey; Melanie becomes disillusioned with Harry after their honeymoon on the Nile. Meanwhile, Lady Askham faces blackmail due to her seemingly innocent interaction with a young cavalry officer during a desert expedition. To escape scandal, she must return to England, while her son Bosco vows revenge as he heads south to join the troops. The unfolding drama, marked by intrigue and misfortune, follows the Askham family back to England and spans the years from 1898 to 1915, encompassing events in Egypt, Sudan, the United States, and beyond.
