Description

It's 1931 and the Depression has brought Tyneside to its knees.

Eighteen-year-old Clara Magee is devastated when her father commits suicide, leaving his wife Patience and the family struggling with debts.

But she hadn't bargained for Vinnie's violent temper and fascination for Mosley's Fascist party.

But the greatest shock is still to come...
