Emmie Kelso was rescued as a child from a dingy Gateshead tenement and sent to live with the MacRaes, a generous mining family. Now an intelligent and spirited young woman, she volunteers at the notorious Gateshead Settlement - a place where the middle class live and work among the poorest. She is swept off her feet by handsome Tom Curran, a miner, but soon learns that he is brutal and violent. When war breaks out, Tom enlists and to Emmie's surprise she fails in love with the MacRae's eldest son Rab, a conscientious objector. But dark times are ahead: Rab faces execution for his political beliefs. And the end of the war brings Tom home...
