The book revolves around the experiences and adventures of young George Fairburn during a tumultuous period in England's history marked by the War of the Spanish Succession and the struggles of his family against rival colliery owners amid political tensions. At the start of the story, we meet George Fairburn, a fourteen-year-old boy, as he travels by coach to find relatives in Darlington. The narrative introduces his character, showcasing his independence, pride, and a developing rivalry with a wealthy peer, Matthew Blackett. As George navigates his journey through the cold winter, we also glimpse the socio-political landscape of early 18th-century England, particularly the class distinctions and their implications, which set the backdrop for George's future adventures.
