Hanna runs from Sligo after witnessing a terrible crime. She hopes London will hide her from the police who might be searching. Lara thought she would marry Matthew in Dublin until he announced his plan to become a priest. Heartbroken, she escapes to Chelsea's King's Road. Matthew's twin sister Noreen loves her fiancé John but wants more excitement than their quiet life offers. All three women land jobs with Bobby Chevron, a dangerous London crime boss. Hanna tries to build a new identity while looking over her shoulder. Lara seeks revenge against God in the most secular place she can find. Noreen discovers that freedom without consequences doesn't exist. Working for Chevron pulls each woman deeper into a world they don't understand. Their attempts to escape Ireland's restrictions lead them toward different but equally threatening dangers in London's underworld.
