The series, like the book, is based on events from the nineteenth century in Canada. Grace is a woman who was sentenced to life imprisonment as a teenager for murder. Now, when she's an adult, she has been hired out from prison and serves as a domestic servant in the home of the Governor of the penitentiary. Her character fascinates and at the same time raises uncertainty. Did she actually commit the crime she was accused of? Is she a cynical criminal or just an innocent victim of the real murderer?
