Seventeen-year-old Jane Broadbent, an American girl, visits her father in London after his remarriage to Lady Sheila. She must navigate the British social scene, where debutantes "come out" to find suitable mates, while her stepmother wants her to marry a suitable suitor. Jane finds herself torn between her first friend in London, who has a crush on the guard David Fenner, and her own feelings for David Parkson, an Italian-American drummer who plays at social events.
