In 1899, The Newsboy's Strike rocked New York City. All of these people are involved. Either, by accident or fate, or to fight for what they believe. Many want to make a change. One has finally found a group of people to be close to and is not going to lose them. One maybe didn't even care until he was dragged down in the mess by the people he cares about.
During the newsboys strike of 1899, Ciara Ryan is welcomed into the newsie family. Ciara puts herself to the test, determined to help strike leader Jack Kelly out in any way possible. However, her plans become shaken up when she begins to fall for the cocky king of Brooklyn- Spot Conlon.
