Lancashire, 1930. Leah Turner's father has been killed in an accident at the laundry. Since her mother died years ago, she becomes sole provider for her little sister. But women's wages are half those of men's and even after pawning their few belongings, they'll still lose their home. Then the local pawnbroker, Charlie Willcox, offers a solution. His brother Jonah, an invalid since being gassed in the Great War, needs a wife. Charlie thinks Leah would be perfect for the job. It may be the only way out, but the sisters find themselves facing danger in their new life with Jonah. Can the three of them ever find a brighter future?
