Description

In the grim world of a 19th‑century workhouse, a tiny infant is born into poverty and neglect. From his first breath, the boy learns the harsh rhythm of institutional life, where even a simple request for more food can spark outrage. As he grows, the workhouse’s cold discipline pushes him toward an apprenticeship that feels more like a sentence than a chance for learning.

Escaping the bleak confines of his early years, the young orphan drifts into the bustling streets of London, where he encounters a charismatic street‑kid who offers a glimpse of freedom and camaraderie. Drawn into a lively, if morally ambiguous, crowd of pickpockets and thieves, he must navigate loyalty, danger, and the ever‑present hope of finding a place where he truly belongs.
