Set against the soot of Philadelphia and the neon of New York, the story follows Kitty Foyle (Margaret Qualley), a "shanty Irish" girl with a white-collar soul. Kitty is caught in the gears of the American class system, navigating a life defined by the men who love her and the woman she is determined to become. The heart of her conflict is Wyn Strafford VI (Gavin Casalegno), the "Golden Boy" of the Philadelphia Main Line. Their romance is a fever dream of collegiate sweaters and secret trysts, but it is perpetually haunted by the icy silhouette of Mrs. Strafford (Elizabeth Mitchell). When the family’s "Old Money" walls prove impenetrable, Kitty flees to New York, trading her frayed ribbons for the sharp, navy-blue armor of a career girl. In Manhattan, Kitty finds a new blueprint for existence at the Art Deco empire of Delphine Detaille (January Jones). Under the mentorship of the razor-sharp Stacy Lee Balla (Maddie Ziegler) and the transformative touch of stylist Giono (Justice Smith), Kitty is reborn. It is here she meets Dr. Mark Eisen (Ben Platt), a man of science and grit who offers her a "New Hope" - a life of mutual respect rather than social performance. When the death of her father, the cynical but soulful Pop Foyle (David Costabile), and a scandalous, secret tragedy force Kitty to face her past, she must decide: return to the "Main Line" as a ghost of herself, or forge a future in a city that doesn't care who her father was. The film ends not with a wedding, but with a transformation. Kitty Foyle stands at a Grand Central platform, her iconic blue coat a vibrant strike against the grey. She isn't choosing a man; she is choosing herself.
