Powered from Ireland through the potato famine, Protestant Victoria MacPherson and Catholic Maeve O'Reilly end up thrown jointly aboard a Manhattan-bound ship. After having a treacherous voyage, they get to New York City in 1851, with only a small purse of metallic and the assurance that Maeve's brother will find them there. But when he doesn't show, the girls are quickly conned out of their cost savings by a smooth-talking scam designer, leaving the two destitute in the tenements of Lower Manhattan. As the ladies work their way from seamstresses gaining pennies each day to proprietresses starting their own shop, their success is endangered by the city's problem and a disgraceful magic formula that Victoria has been keeping from Maeve. Jealous competitors, spiritual prejudice, and the surprising revelation of Victoria's shameful previous threaten to break their connection and decrease the women to rags. But will their power, courage, and spirit be adequate to help them endure and thrive once more?
