Goldie is a foreman at the Colburn Supreme Steamworks plant, but she dreams of a better life for herself, out of the coal dust. When a stranger named Ben turns up in her shift, Goldie wonders if he’s her ticket out of the coal.
Ben is obviously more than he’s trying to appear, and he’s just as obviously interested in her. But when a venomous ghost rat attacks her friend and would-be fiancé Ginger, it sets off a chain of events that sends Goldie out of the Colburn Supreme Steamworks plant and into a much stranger life.
Now she just has to decide what, and who, she really wants.
