London 1920
Dora Bentley's father had been killed in the War and their mother,
Harriet, works at night at Grants clothing factory in order to support
her family. While she is at work Dora looks after her brother,
twelve-year-old Tom, and little Lilly. Their mother is always home in
time to share breakfast with them and take Lilly to school.
One morning their mother doesn't arrive home at the usual time, and
thinking that she must have been delayed, Dora goes to the factory to
find out. When she is told that they don't have a night shift, and no
one by the name of Harriet Bentley has ever worked there, she Dora
realizes there are secrets in her family and she must discover the
truth.
