London, 1872. Clara Carter lives with her father and four sisters in Seven Dials, where his drinking and gambling have consumed the family’s security. A single beautiful button, kept in a precious box, represents almost the only possession Clara can use to imagine a different future.
Determined to save her sisters from destitution, Clara dreams of opening a shop and turning her skill with clothing and buttons into an income. Her plan requires her to resist her father’s failures, navigate the dangers of the district and trust people whose help may carry hidden obligations.
