In this novel set in Victorian England, a wealthy orphan named Colley Trevelyan is kidnapped from his home and forced to live at the ghastly Broggin Home for Boys. The proprietors of the home, who consider Colley to be just another orphan, force him to work in a factory, and he is shunned by the other orphans. When a twist of fate wins Colley the friendship of the other boys, he finds comradeship for the first time in his life. Colley believes he has been left at the home while his kidnappers collect ransom from his guardians, but he has no idea that a far more nefarious plan has been set in motion.
