  • "'You will live to regret this!' is Clara Brown's opinion when her headstrong daughter Fifi secretly marries Dan Reynolds, a handsome but itinerant bricklayer. Dan and Fifi move to London and a seedy flat in Dale Street, Kennington, and despite initial feelings of horror at her new surroundings, Fifi finds London and the freedom from her middle-class family background exhilarating. Insatiably inquisitive, Fifi is fascinated by her new neighbours and wants to know what goes on behind all those shabby front doors. Most of all she is ghoulishly fascinated by the Muckles who live opposite in terrible squalor. When Fifi tries to help the Muckles' youngest child, who has been physically abused by her father, Fifi unwittingly unleashes a chain of events which will not only bring heart ache to her and Dan, but terrible danger to all the inhabitants of Dale Street."
  • "Fifi ist jung und reich, sie kennt nur die Sonnenseiten des Lebens. Als sie sich in Dan verliebt, ist ihre Familie entsetzt. Ihre Tochter soll die Frau eines einfachen Maurers werden? Doch Fifi lässt sich nicht beirren. Heimlich heiraten die beiden jungen Leute. Trotz der ungewohnt ärmlichen Verhältnisse, in denen sie jetzt leben muss, ist Fifi mehr und mehr von den Menschen in ihrer neuen Nachbarschaft fasziniert. Fifis Neugier gilt vor allem den Muckles, die im Haus gegenüber leben. Als sie jedoch versucht, das jüngste Kind der Familie vor den gewaltsamen Übergriffen des Vaters zu schützen, ahnt sie nicht, dass sie damit nicht nur sich, sondern auch Dan und ihre eigene Familie in Gefahr bringt. Denn hinter der Fassade der Muckles brodelt ein Sumpf aus Verbrechen."
