Det är mars 1792 och Gustav III ligger död på Stockholms slott. På balkongen visar den nye regenten hertig Karl upp sig för folket. På borggården står Johanna som en gång var slottets pottunge med ett krampaktigt grepp om sin son Nils. Hon om någon vet vad hertigen är kapabel till. I en tid då kopplerskor lurar på krogarna, plitar griper lösdriverskor på gatorna och där de flesta försörjningsmöjligheter är stängda för en ogift mor är Johanna ändå fast besluten att glömma det som varit och skapa sig ett bättre liv.
