Description

Born into the grim workhouse of a London parish, the orphan Oliver learns early on that survival depends on wits as much as on luck. His brief respite comes when a kindly benefactor offers him a place that seems almost a sanctuary, yet the shadows of the city soon beckon.

Escorted to the bustling streets, Oliver encounters a colorful cast—sharp‑tongued boys, a mischievous elder, and the charismatic yet unsettling leader of a hidden gang. Their world of petty theft and secret deals pulls the innocent youth into a maze of danger he never imagined.

As he navigates this underworld, Oliver’s good heart clashes with the cunning of those who would exploit him, setting the stage for a struggle between compassion and corruption. Listeners will be drawn into his quest for belonging, hoping each step brings him closer to safety and a place to call home.
