In the bawdy, cutthroat world of 18th-century London, three women fight to survive on the margins of society. Sukey, a country girl drawn to the bright lights, plunges headfirst into the city's notorious sex trade. Covent Garden veteran Charlotte seeks to leave her sordid past behind. And prim Hannah, forced into prostitution, must choose between her dignity and mere existence. As their fates intertwine, these Covent Garden ladies will risk everything in a desperate bid for freedom.
