When Arthur Clennam returns to England after many years abroad, he takes a kindly interest in Amy Dorrit his mothers seamstress and the affairs of Amys father, William Dorrit a man of shabby grandeur, long imprisoned for debt in the Marshalsea prison. Arthurs attempts to help the Dorrits reveal how the dark shadow of the prison stretches far beyond its walls, affecting the lives of many from the reluctant rent-collector of Bleeding heart Yard, Mr Pancks, the garrulous and lovelorn Flora Finching, Merdle, an unscrupulous financier to the bureaucratic Barnacles in the Circumlocution Office. Just as Arthur discovers that it is possible to climb to the very top in London society, so he comes to realise it is equally possible to slip down again. Could the only chance of escape lie in unravelling the mystery of Arthurs own familys murky past? And if he does, where will it leave him, Amy and her father?
