Who would have thought that in a seemingly prosperous, civilized English society at the end of the 19th century, this was possible: a wealthy aristocrat, Lord Montagu, forcibly imprisoned his daughters’ governess, the young beauty Melissa, in a brothel, who refused his advances, and the man from the very London bottom - thief Jocko - helps her sister Maria save Melissa. What could a lady and a thief have in common, even if they fell in love with each other? Do they have a future?
