Summer has come to New England, and Henry David Thoreau and his brother John are in love with the same girl. Reclusive writer Nathaniel Hawthorne is courting Sophia Peabody of the remarkable Peabody family of Boston. The brilliant Margaret Fuller becomes a houseguest of the equally brilliant (but married) Ralph Waldo Emerson, and finds herself engaged in a passionate affair of the mind and heart.
