Set in Victorian England, Oliver is the story of a young orphan boy born into a life of poverty and misery. Young Oliver becomes fast friends with a group of street urchins and their criminal leader, Fagin. After being apprehended, Oliver is taken in by a loving older gentleman, Mr. Brownlow, who we later discover is Oliver's affluent grandfather. Fagin's henchman, Bill Sykes, kidnaps the boy in an attempt to prevent him from talking about their criminal activities. The stories ending is bittersweet as a dear friend is lost and young Oliver discovers a new life.
