When her mother brings a mysterious client to the house, Pearl is forced to flee for her life. Found by a group of Romany gypsies, she is taken in and begins a new life. As Pearl grows into womanhood, she struggles to find happiness. Her past continues to haunt her, and she must confront the harsh realities of her world.
