In 1792 Cat receives a letter from New Lanark claiming to contain information about the family she has never known. She travels to Scotland and enters the new world of cotton manufacturing, where children and adults work under rules very different from the informal community of Drury Lane.

Cat's search becomes an undercover investigation involving abduction, concealed parentage and the interests of those who profit from industrial discipline. The truth offers a possible family connection, but also forces her to decide whether blood alone can define where she belongs.
