London, 1859.
A survivor of the famine that ravaged her Irish homeland, Rosaleen Calatrava is the beautiful kept mistress of elderly businessman Solomon Montague, living at his expense in a secluded villa. Yet, alongside her brother Dermot, Rosaleen burns with a fierce desire for vengeance against British rule. After Rosaleen and Dermot's failed assassination attempt on Edward, the young Prince of Wales, the authorities are intent on reprisal. Rosaleen, meanwhile, shorn of her safe house and vital income with old Solomon's death, faces the inevitable fate of playing the whore in her nation's service.
