A warmhearted street-level drama about mentorship and sacrifice, set among London's buskers and theater folk, balancing hope and bittersweet longing.

Pickpocket Libby is protected by aging street performer Charles, who takes her into his troupe. Libby's dancing leads her to meet songwriter Harley and launch a stage career, while Charles is seemingly spurned by the waif he has helped.
