The story unfolds primarily in a high-society setting at the Ritz Hotel, focusing on characters involved in wartime dynamics as they navigate their personal relationships and intrigue amidst the backdrop of World War I. Central to the beginning of the narrative are Lady Anselman and her guests, including her wounded nephew Captain Ronald Granet whose return from the front is a point of interest, alongside other notable personalities like Surgeon-Major Thomson. The mix of guests, ranging from an actress to a Cabinet Minister, sets a lively tone that juxtaposes with the somber reality of war, particularly highlighted by Granet’s injuries.
