As a small girl, she was cursed for causing the death of a vagrant child - a curse that predicts she will hang. Mary's carefully curated world begins to falter; her whole life is based on a lie. One rainy day, she ventures to London's Cheapside, where her past catches up with her. Suddenly, the lies and deception she has fought to bury begin to claw their way to the surface.
