The Flea
London, 1889. Telegraph boy Charlie Swinscow is arrested with 14 shillings in his pocket—money earned from selling his body to a wealthy aristocrat at 19 Cleveland Street, a secret gay brothel with royal connections.
As the scandal unravels, Charlie and his mother are swept into a national cover-up that shakes society.
From Bermondsey’s streets to Buckingham Palace’s halls, whispers of aristocratic corruption ripple through London.
This (mostly) true story is one of power, deception, and disgrace, as a young boy’s secret brings an empire to the edge of collapse.
