Julianne Nicholson (MARE OF EASTTOWN) stars as Kate Galloway, a single mother who establishes a nightclub amidst the hedonistic uproar of post-World War One London, embracing a life of criminal activities with the dedicated aim of providing for her daughter Evie, played by Eilidh Fisher (THE POWER). Also starring Eliza Scanlen (Little Women) as Violet Davies, one of the first wave of female officers for the Metropolitan Police, and Umi Myers (Bob Marley: One Love) as Billie Cassidy, a dazzling bohemian dancer, whose life is turned upside down by Kate’s arrival.
