Charles Dickens's London is a city of contrasts, where rich carriages trundle along grimy cobbles and thin, pale children disappear into the slums of Whitechapel. Since childhood, Nancy has known only cold, hunger, and Sikes's fist. Now she serves Fagin, deceiving and stealing—because it's the only way to survive. But when little Oliver Twist enters her life—pure and guileless, with the naive eyes of a child—Nancy realizes she has few chances for redemption. A willingness to pay the ultimate price for someone else's freedom is all she has to offer the world.

This is not a retelling of a classic Dickens plot. It is a cry for help from a person who knows that even in pitch darkness, there is light.
