A little girl on a ledge between happiness and loss…
A grown man teetering between youth and maturity…
Tom Carrisford is impulsive and carefree, and charming enough to convince his pal Crewe to invest his fortune in a foolish venture.
Together, they create a happy ending…
When the Captain dies penniless, Sara is left at the mercy of the cruel headmistress of the school, who treats her like a slave and teaches her that the real world is a cold, hard place.
Carrisford has made his fortune but is a nearly broken man, with great remorse for his part in Crewe's demise.
The lives of Sara and Carrisford converge when an act of generosity by one inspires a renewal of life in the other.
