Every day, hapless hopefuls - or 'coneys', as the locals call them - come to dirty and dangerous London town, trying to seek their fortunes.

Who is waiting for them? Tricksters and conmen, that's who - like young Eleanor's family.

Eleanor becomes troubled by her family's cunning and foils their plans to catch a coney.

Meanwhile, fearsome King Henry VIII has some rather cruel ideas of justice...for everyone.
