While her father dreams of becoming a painter, he is oblivious to the lack of talent in his artwork, and Leslie plays the supportive daughter, often taking care of him despite his delusions of grandeur. The peaceful life they lead is soon disrupted by a new arrival—a crippled young duke—who struggles with his identity and the superficial perceptions of those around him.
