Men and women who live and work in terrible conditions, one such man is Abraham slaving in a quarry pit in the North of England. He is witness to the tragic death of his best friend when he is crushed under tonnes of stone. Abraham is spurred into joining the struggle for union recognition during a time of social upheaval.
