Young Philippa Cranley is living a lie. Forced by her tyrannical father to masquerade as a man in order to comply with the terms of her maternal grandfather's Will, she knows nothing but cruelty from Archer Cranley and his vicious sister, Edna. Only Philippa's love for her frail, fragile mother keeps the girl enslaved, dressed in men's clothing and known to the world as Philip.
To increase her humiliation, Archer Cranley forces "Philip" to do a stint in the glassworks, a raging inferno of deprivation and danger. There the girl is befriended by Joshua Fairley, whose pity is aroused by the gentle "lad". But soon Joshua finds his feelings for "Philip" are more than just pity, and is tormented by the thought that he is being tempted into an unholy love . . .
