Synopsis:

The Paradise begins in 1875 and portrays the lives and loves of the people who work, shop and trade in and around the first English department store. The owner of The Paradise department store is widower John Moray. Moray was once a draper's boy in Emersons, the small shop that grew under his managership into The Paradise, which has come to dominate the high street to the detriment of small shopkeepers nearby. Into this world comes Denise Lovett (played by Joanna Vanderham), from small town Peebles, whose uncle Edmund is one of the shopkeepers struggling to survive. Lovett takes a job at The Paradise and is soon seen by Moray as a rising star, to the annoyance of head of ladies fashion Miss Audrey and fellow shopgirl Clara. Moray is financially dependent on Lord Glendenning. Glendenning's daughter Katherine is determined to marry Moray and sees Lovett as a threat to her ambitions.

Set amidst the Victorian splendour of Britain's first department store, The Paradise is a rags-to-riches story of a young girl who falls in love with the intoxicating charms of the modern world. As Denise finds her feet as a lowly shop girl, she must navigate her way through power struggles, intrigues and affairs. When the shop's dashing and reckless owner, John Moray, spots her talents she knows she can use this opportunity to rise to great things. Through sexy, episodic stories driven by romance and glamour, this series creates a world as colourful and captivating as the silks on display in the store. This is a love story, a story of ambition and progress, with a mysterious, dark secret at its heart.

The story of a young girl who works in a department store and gets caught up in the charms of the modern world.
