The Dazzle of the Light

The Dazzle of the Light introduces us to Ruby Mills, a ruthlessly ambitious and strikingly beautiful member of the notorious Forty Thieves gang. Ruby's talents make her one of the most gifted within the group.

Meanwhile, Harriet Littlemore, an aspiring journalist from a respectable family, is engaged to a rising star in the Tory party. Although she is expected to adhere to societal norms, Harriet is determined to forge a successful career of her own.

After she witnesses Ruby fleeing the scene of a robbery, Harriet's fascination with Ruby goes beyond mere journalistic curiosity. As their personal ambitions draw them closer than the era's rigid social rules typically permit, their lives become increasingly entangled.

The intriguing relationship between Ruby and Harriet, charged with envy and desire, unfolds a compelling, cinematic tale about class, morality, and the cost of independence as a woman in 1920s London.
