Soho, London, 1958. Three women. One boarding house. A secret that could shatter everything.

When Edie Budd arrives at a shabby West London boarding house in October 1958 with a broken suitcase and an envelope of cash, it's clear she's hiding something. And she's not the only one...

Tommie, who lives on the second floor, waits on the eccentric Mrs Vee by day. After dark, she is addicted to seedy Soho nightlifeβ€”and a man she can't quit.

Phyllis, the formidable landlady, has set fire to her husband's belongings after discovering a heart-breaking betrayalβ€”yet her bravado hides a secret past.

Soon Edie's past catches up with her, while Tommie becomes caught in her liesβ€”forcing her into a decision that will change everything...
