Description
It's 1899 and a young girl is abandoned in London by her family. Jane Stretch finds lodging and work assisting a doctor, Mr Swift, who helps desperate women with problems.
Jane does her best to keep up with the doctor as they visit various boarding houses across town, where the young actresses have their own troubles. Grateful for her benefactor and his wife, Jane assists them without asking questions, which is not a problem in this unusual household.
However, when an unlikely pair becomes involved with Johnny Treble, a music hall star, and the police come knocking, it seems that Jane's spell of good fortune may be short-lived.
