In a Midwestern town being swallowed by steel mills, Lily Shane, beautiful, independent and the despair of respectable society, refuses the marriages expected of her, while her pious sister Irene withdraws into religion. Lily’s choices take her to Paris and into the years of the Great War, as the old family house at home is hemmed in by smoke, strikes and new money.
