Summary: Clara and Nancy both have choices to make. Two sisters, working in a women's prison in 1913; many of the inmates they are faced with have been arrested for their actions as part of the suffragette movement. For Nancy, there's one inmate in particular the enigmatic 'Duchess' who she finds herself drawn to, following the Duchess' lead into the fight for the right to vote. But for Clara, the choice is not so clear-cut. She's started stepping out with a chap called Ted.
