Moths and Rabbits

It's a dreary morning in the early spring of 1901 and an aggravated 17-year-old Harlan is being forced to propose to his best friend. He needs a wife to produce a successor, after all. That's just how his world works, as a 'Blanchester'. He comes from a line of old money manipulators, meaning he has to do whatever his parents tell him. Harlan is cynical and tired, he's already given up on trying to find real romance, just hoping desperately to get away from his parents. But there's something darker lingering in his past, it haunts him like a ghost outside his window.
16-year-old Vikki already feels like a ghost. As the daughter of a cruel and sensible lawyer, she doesn't have much love in her life, so she seeks it out in romance novels and art. Being a transgender girl in Edwardian Britain, it's really her only escape from a society that doesn't yet understand or accept her existence. This escape has always worked until her father loses a messy case and is dealt a lawsuit by the defendant, a mysterious and unrelenting aristocrat. This case drags both the lawyer and his unsuspecting daughter into a scandal, with deadly consequences.
When it turns out that both Harlan and Vikki's families are involved in this scandal, the two are brought together. A friendship by unfortunate circumstance quickly turns into a risky and passionate romance, a romance which serves as an escape from their difficult situations. However, the danger and trauma of the scandal they chose to ignore quickly creep up on them. If they're ever going to live a life less haunted, Harlan and Vikki will be forced to listen to how ghosts cry, otherwise, like their parents, they'll be stuck, stagnant, as ghosts forever.
