In the eerie sourwoods of Victorian England, two red-haired Irish siblings make their desperate way toward Windsor estate. Fourteen-year-old Molly and her younger brother Kip, who walks with a blackthorn crutch he's named "Courage," have fled the devastating potato famine. Their journey through a hostile land is fraught with danger-suspicious villagers, prejudiced shopkeepers, and the constant threat of workhouses lurking at every turn. Their flame-red hair and distinctive accents mark them instantly as Irish refugees, unwelcome in a society that views them with contempt. At a crucial crossroads, they encounter Hester Kettle, a mysterious storyteller who trades directions to Windsor Manor for a promise: tell her later what they find there. Her cryptic warning hangs in the air: "The sourwoods changes folks." As they venture deeper, an unnatural silence envelops them-no birds sing, no insects buzz-just waiting trees that seem to watch with ancient malevolence. Molly protects Kip with elaborate tales about their parents traveling the world as healers and scholars-stories that blur the line between comforting fiction and outright deception. These narratives shield him from harsh truths while helping them navigate a world that would crush them without hesitation. But as they approach the Windsor estate, even Molly's stories cannot prepare them for what waits in the shadows.
