The mill foreman yanks twelve-year-old Grace from the classroom to work at the mill. She joins Arthur, the best student in the class, in helping their mothers keep the dangerous machines at the fabric mill in working order. Desperate for a way out, Arthur writes a letter to someone he hopes can save him and the other children from their fate. A terrible accident and a photographer who appears at the mill then change their lives forever.
