Collan is just about to start work in a tin mine. He is proud about this until he discovers the grim reality. On his first day, a boy is badly injured in a rock fall, caused by the boy's drunken father. Collan befriends the boy's sister and realises the terrible state her family's in. And now Collan has to replace the boy and work with the drunk. Then Collan learns of a man coming to preach at a local meeting place, Gwennap Pit. He hears John Welsey speak of God like he knows him - so different from the God he's heard about in church. And then he meets Welsey himself!
