When Ruth's father is invalided out of the war in April 1918 and unable to work, the family has no option but to move to Cardiff's infamous Tiger Bay area. But Ruth and her mother share a secret that no one else must ever know. Ruth and Caitlin are forced to work, and an increasingly neglected young Glynis runs wild. After Caitlin's death from tuberculosis, followed by that of their father, Ruth and Glynis find themselves living hand-to-mouth, and Glynis turns to stealing with disastrous consequences for them both.
