"The Moss sistersââmy lilies,â as their father calls themâlive in working-class Liverpool right after World War I. Iris (Catherine Tyldesley, Coronation Street), the eldest of the three, dutifully runs the household in the wake of their motherâs death; wayward May (Leanne Rowe, Oliver Twist) works as a maid but longs to perform onstage; and youngest daughter Ruby (Kerrie Hayes, The Mill) sells corsets and trains for the Olympics. Alongside their sorrowful, overbearing father (Brian McCardie, Line of Duty) and war-tormented brother (Daniel Rigby, Flyboys), these young women struggle through poverty, passions, and disappointmentsâsustained by the fortifying power of family. Also starring Stephen Moyer (True Blood), Scot Williams (Redirected), Jennifer Hennessy (Drop Dead Gorgeous), and Iain McKee (Housewife, 49), this captivating series depicts the often bleak realities of life in 1920s Britain through humor, heartbreak, and the irrepressible spirit of hope." - Baker & Taylor
