Dublin, 1950s: Nineteen-year-old Nell Flynn is training to be a nurse and planning to marry her boyfriend, Liam Connor, when her mother dies, leaving her younger sisters destitute. To save them from the workhouse, Nell returns to the family home - a mere two rooms at the top of a condemned tenement. She finds work at a biscuit factory, and at first they scrape through each week. But then eight-year-old Roisin, delicate from birth, is admitted to hospital with rheumatic fever, and fifteen-year-old Kate, rebellious, headstrong and resentful of Nell taking her mother's place, runs away. When Liam finds work in London, Nell stays to struggle on alone. She's determined that one day the Dublin girls will be reunited - and only then will she be free to follow her heart.
