In the early years of the last century, a desperate young girl changes her name and flees the confines of her brutal gangland family in London. Now calling herself 'Diamond Dupree', she goes to Paris to become an artist's model but life doesn't go to plan. When she manages to escape at the end of the First World War, she leaves behind her a mystery - and a dead man. Back home in London, she reluctantly re-joins the Soho family 'firm' she'd once been glad to leave behind, resolved to protect her brothers from harm by whatever means necessary. And when she meets Richard Beaumont, the youngest son of a wealthy aristocratic family, sparks fly. But can Diamond escape the long arm of the law, and the hangman's noose, when the crimes of her past finally catch up with her?
