Description
London street urchin Smith is an experienced pick-pocket at just 12 years old. His life takes a dramatic turn when he witnesses a murder and becomes embroiled in a mystery.
After narrowly escaping the scene, Smith finds himself in the unlikely company of a wealthy blind man who offers him a chance to change his ways. But as he settles into this new life, Smith becomes the prime suspect in the very crime he witnessed.
This gripping tale of survival and deception is set against the backdrop of Victorian London, where the streets are tough and the stakes are high.
