Amanda Rosenbloom is the owner of a vintage store in Manhattan. She visits the elderly Jane Kelly to buy some dresses for what she thinks will be a routine visit, but turns into something much more. Inside of an old trunk, she finds the diary of Olive Westcott, a young woman who comes to New York in 1907 as a buyer for the big department stores. Even though over 100 years separate the lives of Amanda and Olive, Amanda finds tremendous inspiration in the pages of the diary, inspiration that will help her take the reins of her own destiny.
