Mark tries to help Alfred reform his ways and get his life back on track, but his efforts are met with resistance and hostility. The situation is further complicated by the arrival of a beautiful and mysterious woman named Adelaide, who captures the hearts of both brothers.Mark Hurdlestone: Or The Two Brothers is a tale of family, love, and redemption set against the backdrop of Victorian England.
