In the vein of the classic film, "Arsenic and Old Lace," ANGEL MAKERS is a dark and edgy story of a midwife SARAH RIGG who is known for her witchlike potions and lotions. 

In a Yorkshire village in 1917 - in the midst of WWI - with the local men off fighting for their country - the farms are being run by wives and daughters experiencing their first taste of freedom and responsibility. When German Prisoners of War are sent in to do the heavy labor, the women find themselves unexpectedly drawn to the POW's and engage in illicit affairs. 

ROSE ELLAM is desperately in love with her German beau and delighted with the birth of their baby. When her husband BOB returns, he threatens to kill the baby. Sarah supplies Rose with poison which they put it in Bob's rum. 

Meanwhile, P.O.W. JAEGER enters into a fatalistic liaison with Sarah and her daughter MERCY. Bitter resentment between Mercy and her mother result in an almost comical cat-and-mouse game to see who will poison the other first. Nothing is safe in the Rigg household as the pair lace everything from cutlery to cuisine with a deadly poison. Sarah knows that the situation has spiraled out of all control and she has to take the lead -- which means killing her own daughter. She is devastated as by her own actions and soon turns herself in where she is sentenced to hang for her crimes.
