For the Parisian elite, the Mad Women's Ball is the highlight of the social season; for the women themselves, it is a rare moment of hope.Genevieve is a senior nurse. Once a year a grand ball is held at the hospital. After the childhood death of her sister, she has shunned religion and placed her faith in Doctor Charcot and his new science.
But everything begins to change when she meets Eugenie, the 19-year-old daughter of a bourgeois family. Because Eugenie has a secret, and she needs Genevieve's help. Their fates will collide on the night of the Mad Women's Ball...
