But Edward has secrets of his own and Sophia comes to suspect that her marriage is not what it seems. In cramped rooms in Covent Garden, Betsy-Ann shuffles a pack of cards. A gambler, dealer in second-hand goods and living with a grave robber, her life could not be more different to Sophia's - but she too discovers that she's been lied to. As both women take steps to discover the truth, their lives come together through a dramatic series of events.
