'Campbell Road was home to the most notorious criminals: thieves,
prostitutes, fraudsters - every sort of rogue and vagabond drifted
through this slum.' Life was tough ... but so were they Alice
Keiver is a sensitive girl, growing up in one of the roughest parts
of North London. As the daughter of an alcoholic mother, and niece
of an abusive uncle, she dreams that one day she and her baby
sister will escape their rotten surroundings. Alice's father, Jack
Keiver, works day and night to provide for his family. But his
hopes for a better life are dashed each time he returns home to
find the money-jar raided and his feisty wife Tilly collapsed drunk
in the corner. In the room below, Alice's downtrodden Aunt Fran
spends most of her days nursing the injuries inflicted on her by
her cruel husband Jimmy - but this time he's pushed the family too
far and they're not going to let him get away with it. Revenge is
going to be sweet.
