Louisa Clark steps off the plane at JFK with a yellow cab waiting, a nervous smile, and a heart full of promises to her paramedic boyfriend Sam back in England. Her vintage bumblebee tights and bright red coat stand out sharply against Manhattan's sea of black and gray business attire - immediately marking her as an outsider in this sleek, fast-paced metropolis. The Gopnik residence in the Lavery, one of the oldest co-ops on the Upper East Side, becomes Lou's new home - a building where even the doormen wear suits that cost more than her monthly salary. Her staff quarters are tiny but serviceable: a twelve-by-twelve room with a small window facing a brick wall. The household dynamics are immediately complex: Leonard Gopnik, a wealthy businessman; his young second wife Agnes, a beautiful Polish former massage therapist struggling to fit into high society; Ilaria, the middle-aged housekeeper with thirty years of service and permanent disapproval; and Tabitha, Leonard's adult daughter who views Agnes as nothing more than a gold-digger. Through Agnes's struggles, Lou begins to understand that wealth and status come with their own unique form of imprisonment. Despite having no job or children, Agnes maintains a packed schedule of beauty appointments, charity events, and social obligations - all designed to transform her into the perfect society wife. Her calendar is a battlefield of lunch dates and gallery openings, each one a potential minefield of social faux pas. The Gopniks' world operates more like a sophisticated corporation than a household. Their apartment functions with military precision: specialized cleaning teams, dedicated housekeepers, weekly florists with arrangements worth more than Lou's monthly rent, and even a pet behaviorist for Felix the cat's anxiety. At charity galas costing thousands per plate, Lou observes the unspoken rules of high society. The women, uniformly size zero with perfectly coiffed hair, represent years of careful maintenance and astronomical investment in their appearance. This world of extreme privilege creates a stark contrast to Lou's working-class background. Her phone calls home illuminate this divide - while Lou describes attending $50,000-a-table fundraisers, her mother counts the minutes of their international call and shares stories about teaching English to Syrian refugees at their local community center.
