Driven by her desire for a more glamorous lifestyle and social status, Emma engages in extramarital affairs with different men, including a wealthy landowner and a young lawyer. As she becomes increasingly dissatisfied with her life, she spends more and more money, eventually causing her family to fall into debt.
