Gregor Mansion, 1850. Lord and Lady Gregor have been married for 25 years, and have 3 children. They also have a full household staff, many of whom are orphans or widows. Lord Gregor, a war hero and shipping tycoon, is handsome for his 50 years, and looks much younger. Lady Gregor, a high society woman with a flare for French Fashion, is beautiful even though she is 45. They have three children. Daniel Gregor, Jr (or DJ for short) is the oldest. He's 20, and a lawyer. Brilliant, handsome, and a little bit of a playboy, he's had an affair with one of the help, who is pregnant. Their second child, Marcus Gregor, is 19. He's in the navy, assisting England in their endeavor in the Crimean War. Marcus is less self-confidant, but that doesn't stop him from being a play boy as well. He had an affair with a different member of the household, but she was dismissed when she accused him of rape. She is also the older sister of the pregnant maid. Thomas Gregor, the third child, is 18. The smartest of them all, he is a scholar and a philosopher. Thomas is said to be the favorite child, and is in the will to inherit the Mansion and the business. He is not a play boy, and doesn't want to inherit the business or the mansion. Thomas wants to be a priest.

The household are controlled by the most wicked woman in all of London. Mrs. Laura Mistran, or Ms. Mis as most of the household call her, was widowed at 30, and is now in her late 40's. The butler, next in charge, is Mr. Lindstrom, who is in his early 50's. Mr. Andrew Lindstrom is the lover of Ms. Mis, though unknown to the rest of the household. The cook, Miss Catherine Logan, is a young woman in her early 20's, and is pregnant with Daniel Gregor's child. He has promised her if she has a son, he will claim it and marry her. The stable man and all around handyman is the lovely and charming Mr. Anthony Neil. He is devishly handsome with a flare for the unusual when it comes to topics of conversation. The two scullery maids are young, the oldest only 19 and the youngest 17. The 19 year old, Miss Felicity McMurray, is a young girl from Ireland. Her parents brought her from Ireland to live in London, but they unfortunately died before they could secure a marriage for her. The 17 year old, Miss Annabel Harte, is a beautiful girl from London. Her parents were indebted to the Gregor family, so when they died, she was forced to work for them. Miss Logan's older sister, Miss Hannah Logan, age 21, was accepted back into the household when she dropped the rape charges. Miss Hannah is the dinner maid, meaning she serves parties and guests. The serving maid, the maid in charge of the scullery maids when Mrs. Mis isn’t around is Miss Charity Collins, a young girl of about 20. She is the kindest, most down to earth girl you could care to meet.

Suddenly, tragedy strikes the household. Marcus loses his leg in the war, and has to come home. He is honorably discharged, given a large pension, and is suddenly flooded with suitors. What is the tragedy in that, you ask? The week after his return home, Thomas disappears, and Lord Gregor dies. Not just dies, though, he is murdered. Thomas is the prime suspect due to his sudden disappearance. However, can you discover the truth? Locked away in Gregor Mansion, it's up to the household staff, and one very young detective, to reveal the family secrets and discover the real killer. The young detective, Detective Hansen James, is only 25 years old. Handsome, smart, and unusually interested in the case, might he himself be the killer?
