East End London, 1858. Katherine Martin returns to the city after years away and is confronted by the gulf between her wealthy family and people living without food or shelter. Defying her parents, she secretly establishes a soup kitchen in the poorest streets.
Kate’s work attracts the attention of Harry Trader and his criminal gang, placing her beyond the protection of respectable society. As danger closes in, she begins to suspect that the enemies threatening her may be connected to the privileged world she has been taught to trust.
