Sadie Stokes (Creator/MelissaLeo) is what previous generations would politely term a [[MaidenAunt maiden lady]]. She has returned to her home town to care for her ailing grandmother Emmeline (played by Le Clanché du Rand) with the help of Vicky (Sabrina Lloyd) and her husband Billy (Jason Downs) and run the local used book store. She is very shy and rather colorless, and most people don't even remember her name. She has a crush on her childhood friend, local handyman Henry Becker (Creator/DavidStrathairn), but is too tongue-tied to say anything. One morning she glimpses a strange man in her mirror, who addresses her as "Anna" and disappears. She begins an obsessive search for the real Anna, who it seems is looking for her as well.

It seems that in the 1860s, Anna was a local woman (also played by Leo) who was engaged to Harry Stokes (also played by Strathairn). When he left to fight in UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar, Anna was pregnant by him. Word came that Harry was dead, but he wasn't, and returned to find Anna [[GiveTheBabyAFather married to his cousin Edmund]]. Harry and Anna both vanished soon after this, causing a huge scandal and leaving little Jack Stokes behind to be raised by Edmund, his mom Oneida, and eventually his second wife Helly. But as Sadie and Henry are about to discover, things are not as they seem.

In Sadie's time, Potts is now a cross-dressing gay man (or pre-op transgendered woman), referred to as "Busy-Body" in the credits, a sympathetic DeadpanSnarker who runs the thrift shop and offers Anna/Sadie the perfect dress. Henrietta is now the gossip, who dresses in overalls and fixes trucks, and takes umbrage at being called a woman. It's not clear if the gossip is a transgendered man or a physical male, but he is played by actress Denny Dillon. There's lots of gender bending and stepping outside of gender roles in this story; when we last see Henry's black cousin Fred Ballantine, he's painting his toenails because Victoria is doing Sadie's, while chortling over a reality show where tomboys are given makeovers.
