An orphan's X-ray vision turns flea market scavenging into a secret empire and noble obsession.
A carriage strike grants destitute Ella the ability to see through solid objects, transforming London's East End markets into her personal treasure vault. She systematically identifies buried valuables invisible to seasoned dealers, converting each find into leverage against the upstarts who mocked her poverty. Her uncanny accuracy and rapidly concealed wealth draw the fascinated pursuit of three elite noblemen, each maneuvering for her favor while she navigates a rise built on a vision no one else possesses.
