London was a far cry from a picturesque city. It's streets were shadowed by the weight of corruption, with crooked police, ruthless politicians, and hardened gangsters running the show. For those who called this murky place home, life was a grim affair, marked by desperation and survival. There was little beauty to be found in the dim, smoke-choked air of those days, yet Florence Warden had no choice but to trudge through the treacherous paths of a city that seemed to swallow hope whole.

Birmingham had a way of pulling people back. No matter how far they ran, how long they stayed gone, the smoke and grit clung to their bones like memory. When Nora's dad had sent her away to London, her life had changed: she had changed. She built a life of her own, she learned how to be independent, how to fend for herself. After five years, she's back in Birmingham, where everything feels different but exactly the same all at once. Back where it all began, where her soul still bled, back where loyalty was currency and love was a debt that never really got paid.
