Set against the backdrop of the social and political changes of the first half of the 20th century and two world wars, we follow the tragic lives of the working class Clarke family and in particular, the eldest daughter Frances, a lonely and unusual girl who lives a better life in her mind and feels a greater connection to the spirits of her deceased sisters, Josephine and Ruby than those around her. Lost love and unforeseen tragedies leave Frances bound to hold a terrible secret and to keep it, she must retreat even further away from real life, leaving her with only the ghosts of her family for company. The world moves on and Frances is forced to re-engage with life outside of her home and it is as alarming and unpredictable as she remembered, especially when she is confronted with those she has hurt and those who have hurt her.
