A tender, character-driven story about a resourceful girl learning to trust and connect with her estranged father after her mother's death, balancing humor and heartbreak.

A resourceful 12-year-old, who secretly lives alone in her flat in a working-class suburb of London, makes money stealing bikes with her best friend Ali and keeps the social workers off her back by pretending to live with an uncle. But when her estranged father turns up out of the blue, she's forced to confront reality.
