Synopsis:

Set against the backdrop of late 19th-century England, this series follows Jane, a young woman grappling with a fractured family history. Orphaned at birth and raised amidst the privilege of her father’s aristocratic circle, she harbors a profound connection to her estranged brother, William. Driven by whispers of a legendary cerulean sand said to unlock the secrets of flight, George embarks on a perilous expedition that ends in tragedy. Years later, a cryptic message containing a fragment of the mythical sand reignites Jane's determination. She embarks on a journey eastward, seeking not only to clear William’s name but also to confront long-buried truths about her family and the nature of ambition. The narrative explores themes of loss, familial bonds, and the allure of pursuing impossible dreams, hinting at hidden agendas and the potential cost of uncovering certain secrets.
