And boy did Lord Carter plan on doing that. 18th century Britain, we meet with a new man in town who goes by the name of Lord Daniel Carter. He is a gentleman who's moved to the outskirts of London from Washington America. Son of a duke, he is known for his politeness and charisma. Talented and educated, he is one of the most prosperous bachelor's in the country, and every woman and man wants to be introduced to him. However, when our protagonist, Mr. Charlie Phillips bumps into him one dark, stormy night. Their brief encounter infuriates Charlie and his apparent unrequited distain for the "impressive" Lord grows rapidly. A rivalry is born. However, as the two compete for the attention of a beautiful young lady, shocking revelations unfold, and the two are suddenly forced to get along and become friends. Will it be possible for the two men to befriend each other? And was becoming friends part of the plan all along?
