The American Gilded Age was a period of immense economic change, of huge fortunes made and lost, and the rise of disparity between old money and new.Against this backdrop of change, the story begins in 1882 — introducing young Marian Brook, the orphaned daughter of a Union general, who moves into the New York City home of her thoroughly old money aunts Agnes van Rhijn and Ada Brook. Accompanied by Peggy Scott, an accomplished African-American woman, Marian inadvertently becomes enmeshed in a social war between one of her aunts, a scion of the old money set, and her stupendously rich neighbors, a ruthless railroad tycoon and his ambitious wife, George and Bertha Russell.In this exciting new world that is on the brink of the modern age, will Marian follow the established rules of society, or forge her own path?
In Arizona, George faces opposition while unfurling his ambitious plan to build a train route connecting New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Back in New York, Bertha prepares for the Duke's imminent arrival, Peggy falls ill after an unseasonable snowstorm, and Ada hosts a gathering to support the temperance movement – to Agnes' chagrin.
Concerned about Peggy's worsening condition, Agnes and Ada welcome her parents and their physician, Dr. Kirkland, to 61st Street. Meanwhile, Oscar gets a professional favor from an old friend, Bertha makes her case for the Duke to a skeptical George, and Gladys suffers a heart-breaking disappointment.
As negotiations with the Duke start to disintegrate, George confronts Bertha about her vision for Gladys – and its inadvertent impact on his business. Meanwhile, the Scotts meet the Kirklands in Newport, Ada encourages the staff to sign a temperance pledge, Agnes laments her slow exclusion from society, and Larry invites Jack to a meeting with a potential investor.
With the wedding between Gladys and the Duke imminent, Bertha must deal with unwanted rumors in the press, the sudden arrival of her sister Monica, and an unwilling bride. After giving a talk in Newport, Peggy and her mother encounter the aloof Mrs. Kirkland. Meanwhile, a grieving Ada attempts a new way to communicate with Luke, and Borden learns more about Mrs. Bruce's past.
Gladys has trouble adjusting to her changed circumstances...and the controlling Lady Sarah. After a string of personal and professional wins, Larry runs into a familiar face. While at an event with Dr. Kirkland, Peggy gets an opportunity from an old colleague. Later, drama ensues at Mrs. Fish's Newport luncheon.
While Bertha encourages Gladys to stand up for herself and her new husband, George faces an upward battle to secure the rail line that runs through Chicago. Larry gains intel that leads Oscar to have a long-awaited confrontation – but raises doubts for Marian. Later, Peggy confides in Dr. Kirkland about her past, and Ada has a candid talk with Jack about his future.
Amid the release of a salacious book, Mrs. Astor discusses the future of her Newport ball with Bertha. After returning from Arizona, Larry shares a promising discovery with George, only to receive troubling news in return. Meanwhile, Mrs. Kirkland receives concerning information about Peggy, and the Russell household uncovers the source of recent leaks to the press.
