1854, a time of dizzying change
Liverpool’s streets are teeming with merchants and new arrivals from all corners of the globe. Every day as the walls of St. George’s Hall grow higher above the city skyline, in the bowels of the city the poor of the cellar slums drink away their fears. It’s never their time and they know their place. But Millie has other ideas. She’s seen the light at the end of the tunnel and she’s taking her fiery family with her.
