London's East End 1923. In the heart of Dressmakers Alley Madame Pauline's sweatshop is rumoured to be a particularly unpleasant place to work. Filled with seamstresses paid a pittance who turn a blind eye to what darker activities are hidden behind locked doors. Young Winnie Brown is keen to prove her value to the Women Movements and secures a job as a seamstress to investigate the whispers of some unsavoury goings on. She discovers that there are terrible things afoot, as she hears a desperate cry for help. Meanwhile, Lady Diane Cooper is the darling of London's high-society. Beautiful and talented, she seemingly has it all. But the strict constraint's society assigns her leaves her frustated, she craves more freedom. With the help of her devoted dresser Susie can she realise her dream? What is the connection between Lady Diane's world and the poor exploited young women of Dressmakers Alley?
