The promise she made. The life she built.
The year is 1912. The RMS Titanic has sunk, taking with it the gilded cage of Rose DeWitt Bukater's past and the man who taught her to truly live, Jack Dawson. Rescued from the icy Atlantic, Rose arrives in a bustling, unforgiving New York City, stripped of her name, wealth, and social standing. She is now Rose Dawson, a penniless survivor haunted by grief and a secret: the "Heart of the Ocean" diamond.
But the past is not so easily drowned. Her vengeful former fiancé, Caledon "Cal" Hockley, also survived, and he is relentlessly searching for her and his prized diamond. As Rose navigates the gritty realities of the Lower East Side, finding tenuous refuge in a working-class boarding house, she must use every ounce of the resilience Jack instilled in her.
From street artist to burgeoning suffragette, Rose finds new purpose and powerful allies in a city awakening to social change. Yet, Cal's shadow looms, pushing her to the brink of exposure. Will Rose finally break free from his obsessive grasp, or will her past drag her back into the depths?
