- London, 1666:- Thomas Farriner, a widower with two young daughters, runs a bakery in Pudding Lane and turns to administrator Samuel Pepys when naval clerk Sheridan withholds payment for the bread he has supplied to the navy. Pepys cannot help though he does inform him that his brother seems to have been lost in a sea battle against the Dutch. Profligate king Charles II, in pursuit of comely Frances Stuart, holds lavish banquets he cannot afford due to the war and is rebuked by both his brother, James the duke of York, and Pepys. Lord Denton, the king's spy-master, arrests an assassin about to murder Charles and links him to the Catholic sympathizer the Duke of Hanford. Thomas's sister-in-law Sarah works for Hanford and Denton persuades her to - reluctantly - spy for him. At the same time a spark from Thomas's oven sets alight the straw on the floor and the Great Fire of London begins.
- On the second day of the fire, Thomas joins the mass exodus to the comparative safety of Moorfields, leaving the girls there while he returns to find Sarah, unaware that Denton has imprisoned her as a possible Catholic sympathizer. She is saved from being raped by Vincent, a murderer who sailed with her husband, who he is certain is dead, before Denton releases her to steal an incriminating red box from Hanford, keeping her son David as hostage. Alarmed by the speed and growing danger of the fire, Samuel Pepys persuades King Charles to defy his fawning ministers and demolish blocks of houses to halt the fire's progress while Elizabeth Pepys discovers her husband's infidelity.
- The king is angry upon learning that his ministers have not demolished houses to stem the fire and promises compensation to the householders. Sarah is caught by the Duke of Hanford trying to steal the box but on hearing that she is being blackmailed by Denton, who has her son held hostage in Newgate, lets her escape. However, Denton breaks into the house and kills the duke, acquiring the document that names the king's brother James as part of the conspiracy. James explains that all he wants is for the king to convert to Catholicism and also encourages him to be seen to take an active part in the fire-fighting. Thomas learns that David is in Newgate and, just as the fire reaches the jail, rescues him and Vincent, who takes the child to Moorfields. He also catches up with Sarah and they go on the run after Denton has issued an arrest warrant, claiming that they started the fire as part of the plot to kill the king.
- In Victorian London foundlings Hetty Feather and Gideon Smeed are fostered by the Cotton family until the age of five when they are taken to the foundling hospital, run by the austere Matron Bottomly and separated into different wings for boys and girls. Having sworn that she would look after Gideon Hetty makes efforts to see him, meeting Mathias, an older boy who looks after Gideon and who plans to escape and run away to sea. Hetty helps Mathias craft a letter to the man who will facilitate this and plans to join him and other boys in an escape attempt. However, thanks to the She-Mob, a group of nasty girls who seek to ingratiate themselves with matron, she fails to join the escapees. Following the discovery that three boys have gone the hospital is subject to an even harsher regime.
- Gideon plans on escaping in search of his parents, but Vince and Judd have other plans.
- Hetty tells her friends Harriet and Polly that it will soon be her and Gideon's birthdays as celebrated at the foster parents and, since the sexes are segregated, she must think of a way to meet Gideon for a celebration. When food is stolen from the kitchen Matron orders a lockdown but Hetty takes advantage of a rat infestation to get a message to Gideon and later, under the guise of helping the rat-catcher lay traps, she and her friends obtain access through the loft to a tower where they meet Gideon and his friends and establish their own den. Later that night the food thief is caught - it is Mathias who, having escaped, has returned to the hospital where he is hiding.
- Matron attempts to coerce a cowed Mathias into being her spy as she sets the orphans to work making toys, supposedly destined for charities though Gus discovers that she and tradesman Cooper are planning to sell them to stores for profit and leads the others in sabotaging the goods. They are almost caught but Mathias rescues them before explaining how he returned to the hospital to avoid being sold as a slave. Matron is angry when she sees the damaged toys but, as the children are falling ill due to lead paint, humane teacher Mr Cranbourne persuades her to stop her venture, pointing out that the governors would not be happy to know about her deal with a rogue like Cooper.
- A new foundling arrives, a little girl called Eliza, who was fostered with the same family as Hetty though Hetty is disappointed that her borrowed brother Jem seems to have forgotten her. Matron also receives a visitor, her kindly sister Annie, appalled that Matron will not visit their dying mother. When Eliza takes revenge on Matron by shredding her clothes Hetty takes the blame and is put in solitary but Annie discovers the real culprit and rescues Hetty, explaining that she and her sister were also raised in a workhouse, hence Matron's severe attitude. Thus Hetty has information to use against her enemy and is also cheered to find that Jem has not forgotten her at all.
- The foundlings must perform a hymn by composer Mr Melrose to sing at a charity lunch but they are bored by it so kindly Nurse Winterson teaches them a music hall song, with the result that Matron sacks her. Hetty, aware that the nurse is the sole provider for her invalid father, persuades the children to go on strike and refuse to sing at the lunch but Matron tries to call her bluff by threatening punishment.
