Mary Mallon, an Irish immigrant in turn-of-the-century New York, is headstrong and brave, a woman who has battled fiercely to better her lot in life and keep her wayward lover Alfred on the straight and narrow. She works her way up to cook for the wealthiest families in Manhattan, but leaves a trail of death and disease in her wake. Condemned by press and public alike, she is branded a murderer, but continues to fight for her freedom.
