A storm rages and a body is pulled from the swirling Thames. Across the city, two young women confront uncertain futures: in Limehouse, Lizzie Hexam struggles to break free of the river and its dark secrets, while on the other side of town, Bella Wilfer mourns a lost marriage. The appearance of the mysterious John Rokesmith has the potential to change both their lives forever. Ben Power's propulsive adaptation of Dickens's Our Mutual Friend, with original songs by PJ Harvey, is a romantic thriller and a hymn to the city and the river that runs through it.
