During the Scottish autumn of 1891, Irishman, Lucan Hayes, a coal miner, loses his wife to childbirth. In his darkest hour, he meets prostitute Meg-Anne Dunn. This brief encounter would alter their lives forevermore. Lucan must find a way to raise his sons while continuing to work as a faceman. Confronted by the challenges of being a widower and single father, he slips deep into despair. In the dark tunnels of the underground, he sees his future as death. A letter from his uncle changes the course of his life. He emigrates to Australia to work in Irvinebank, one of the largest tin mining towns of the time. Australia seemed to be the answer for Meg-Anne except her old life followed. Working the infamous Sachs Street filled with brothels, shanty hotels and gambling dens was to live in hell. Now a new punter has walked into her existence. When Meggy's eyes connect with his, she remembers they are blue, the deepest kind.
