The Heiress

"The Heiress" is a powerful drama about sexual politics, class and money in 1840s America, a society about to be torn apart by civil war.

Catherine is a plain but highly eligible heiress, courtesy of the fortune she stands to inherit from her father.

Catherine falls for the charm of smooth-talking suitor Morris. But her father won't allow a marriage, fearing Morris is a low-class gold-digger. The scene is set for a battle of wills between father and daughter.
