In the early 1900s, sisters Lillian and Grace open an orphanage in a northwestern town which is on the cusp of change; the sisters strive to find happiness and romance while meeting the challenges of taking care of the children in their care.

When Nora, an out-of-town lawyer, arrives in Brookfield, the town welcomes her along with new Mountie, Michael Fletcher; Sam returns from prospecting for gold and meets Maggie's parents who have come to visit.
