Oscar and Lucinda

Oscar Hopkins, a man shaped by the cruelty of his evangelist father's teachings, finds solace in an unexpected vice: gambling. As he navigates through life as an Anglican minister, his divine passion intertwines with this human addiction, forming an unconventional relationship. In contrast, Lucinda Leplastrier is a wealthy Australian heiress who seeks inspiration for her newly acquired glass factory in London. The two unlikely individuals meet on a ship bound for Australia, embarking on their spiritual journey together. As they share a common obsession, a newfound mutual attraction blossoms between them. Their wager, however, sets the course for an unforeseen chain of events that will forever change the trajectory of their lives.
