Liverpool, 1861. Annie Shaw longs to be taken seriously. At 14, she's fed up of being babied by her big sister Delilah. When Annie's old friend Clara visits with tales of the good money that can be made at the cotton mill outside Ormskirk, she sees her chance at adventure and runs away. The work is gruelling and Annie is shocked to witness children as young as eight working long days around dangerous machinery. Annie can't help but make it her responsibility to rescue these children. Soon Annie finds herself caring for three young orphans. As hard times hit the mill and hundreds of jobs are lost, will Annie be able to keep her young charges warm, fed and safe?
