The bleak coal-mining settlement deal of Denniston, isolated on top of a plateau above New Zealand's West Coast, is a location that makes or breaks those who live there. A wide range occur here to work the mines and lower the coal: ex-goldminers down on the luck, others running from the law or from a woman or worse. They work alongside recruited English miners, stable and skilled, who scorn these disorganised misfits and want them from the hill. Into this chaotic community come five-year-old Rose and her mother, riding the incline, during the night, during a surprise. No one knows what has powered them there, but most concur the mother must be eager to choose Denniston; worse, to choose that drunkard, Jimmy Cork, as a bedfellow. The indomitable Rose is kept to fend for herself, finding allies and foes in her struggle to secure a location in this hard and often aggressive community.
