In the dark and twisting alleyways of Dickensian London the stories of two very different young women collide with terrfiying consequences...
Twenty year old petty thief, Sue Trinder, is part of an elaborate scam to defraud a wealthy heiress, Maud Lilly, of her inheritance. Encouraged by Mrs. Sucksby who has looked after her since she was orphaned, Sue assists conman Richard Rivers in his bid to elope with Maud before having her committed to a madhouse and claiming her fortune for himself.
But Sue's plans are turned upside down when she falls in love with Maud... and the tale twists further as the two young women are separated just as they begin to realise the strength of their passion for each other...
