Clemency Skinner survives as a pickpocket and street singer, using her soprano voice to earn money alongside her brother Jack. Their lives are controlled by the brutal Todd Hardiman until an encounter with buskers and the world of the Strand Theatre suggests that Clemency’s talent might offer an escape.

The theatre brings her into contact with Jared Stone and a more respectable life, but Hardiman is unwilling to release a profitable victim. Clemency must protect Jack, resist the criminal network that owns their labour and decide whether she can trust the people offering a new future.
