In a gritty industrial city, factory worker Edward Bibbins toils endlessly to make ends meet. But when his best friend is killed in a workplace accident, Edward's eyes are opened to the callous indifference of the wealthy factory owners. Fueled by rage and a hunger for justice, Edward recruits a band of fellow workers to launch a daring plot to seize control of the factories and redistribute the wealth. As the uprising gains momentum, Edward must confront his own doubts and fears to lead the revolution against the entrenched powers that hold the city in their grip. In the end, the fate of the workers - and the city itself - hangs in the balance.
