Sinopsis

Step into the opulent world of The Hotel Hamilton, where the chandelier sparkles while a maidâÇÖs aspirations fade into the woodwork.áVancouver, Canada, 1927. A hotel maidâÇÖs duty is to never be seen. ThatâÇÖs no problem for Clara, who finds safety in her station. But for her sister, Louisa, itâÇÖs cold outside the limelight.áClara is content being an obliging working girl, but she doesnâÇÖt 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.áLouisa, 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 LouisaâÇÖs ambitious nature yearns for a life in the theatre, she hasnâÇÖt 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.áAlready 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.
