Effie Grey has fallen on hard times since the death of her husband. Forced to live on a narrowboat owned by her tyrannical father-in-law, Jacob, Effie must put aside her own despair in order to protect her brother, Tom, and her young son, Georgie.

Life becomes even more unbearable when Jacob hires the villainous Salter and his vile wife Sal to run the barge.
