Still recovering from the death of her watchman husband in a terrorist attack during the Outrages, Rose struggles with only her factory income. She takes on a lodger to help ends meet, and against her own wishes, considers sending her ten-year-old daughter to work in the factory. In a twist of fate, she meets middle-class Annie, who dedicates her time lobbying for better working conditions. While Rose is desperate to avoid making waves, can she really sit back and watch women and young girls - including her own daughter - continue to work in fatal conditions? While her husband's killer remains on the loose, all Rose wants is justice. But with other crimes happening in the factories, can she turn a blind eye to what's right in front of her?
