A harrowing institutional drama about a vulnerable girl trapped between systemic indifference and peer brutality, with only one compassionate adult offering a glimmer of redemption.

A constant runaway is given over to the care of the state and finds herself in a remand centre for girls. She is soon caught between the uncaring bureaucracy, the sometimes brutal treatment from her peers and her own abusive family, and only one care worker sees her potential to rise above her tragic circumstances.
