It is a story of love and grief artistry and insanity acts of sudden transgression and moments of quiet contemplation.1897: Isabella Trent is found murdered in an Australian asylum cell.

Years earlier young Lucy Malpass leaves her home town in Staffordshire for London where she is drawn into a community of artists and socialists around William Morris and his family. Before long there is not only a prospect of fulfilling work but also a glimpse of reciprocal passion. Then her high hopes gradually begin to unravel.
