Summary

Daisy Belle, a gifted young singer from the grim backstreets of Tyneside, is devastated when her baby daughter Rose goes missing. Little does she know Rose has been stolen and given to a wealthy woman who, tricked into believing she's an orphan, adopts her and renames her Rosina. Worse still, it was all arranged by Daisy's ruthlessly ambitious agent, Jack Fiddler. Years later, when tragedy strikes, Rosina runs away to join a theatrical troupe and her natural talent for singing soon wins the hearts of the crowds. But this brings her into direct competition with one of the northern music halls' established stars, Daisy Belle - and back into the path of Jack, who is determined to destroy her.
