Living in Victorian London is not easy. Especially when you are black, a woman and working as a maid for the dreadful Cartwrights. Winnith Harlow qualifies for all of the above, so her life is quite frankly put - difficult.
Freedom is all she wants, but it is a right reserved only for men - and the rich. She is determined to change that, but before she can, she has to solve a few dilemmas. Ones that if left unsolved, could possibly turn her life into a mess that she - a maid - can't even clean up.
