After the death of her parents, Mary Talbot will do anything to protect her younger brother Jack. Maggie Shaw runs a gang of orphan street thieves, and the Talbots fall into her clutches. Christmastime means rich pickings for the pickpockets. But Maggie's ruthless nature means that Christmas is often full of fear and loss. When her best friend, Bobby, is thrown out of the tenement to die alone on the streets, Mary knows that she and Jack must escape the Whitehall slums. Mary must decide; plan a dangerous way out or risk another Christmas hanging.
