Celeste is engaged to the boorish Philip, but on the evening of her lavish engagement party, she catches a glimpse of the man that will change everything. Teddy Valentine is a smooth, bohemian trumpet player with a secret. Will Celeste stay trapped in her gilded cage or run off with the mysterious stranger who promises her a taste of the artist's life she craves?
