All four episodes of the Victorian drama series, that follows the attempts of a young prostitute to improve her social standing and escape the poverty that threatens to destroy her. Having gained a reputation for not disappointing her clients, young, quick-witted prostitute Sugar (Romola Garai) yearns to leave her life behind and move up in society. Her chance appears to arrive when she atracts the attentions of William Rackham (Chris O'Dowd), the unwilling heir to a perfume empire, whose increasing debts and domestic trials have led him to search for other, more attractive diversions. But as the pair become increasingly involved, their plans soon take on a life of their own, as they find themselves caught up in events outwith their control.
