The three are marginalized by the pious townspeople, led by the Reverend Ropson, who condemns Josie and threatens to have her sent to an institution and Kit to an orphanage. When Lizzie dies suddenly, Kit and her childlike mother are left vulnerable to the village's harsh judgment and unexpected dangers. A tragic chain of events, sparked by an attack on Kit by a menacing local, leads to a devastating revelation, forcing Kit to forge an unlikely alliance with the Reverend's son, Sid, as she fights to keep her family intact and confronts the severe realities of her world.
