Synopsis

Single teen mom Leigh-Anne (Stephanie James) faces increasing pressure as both social services and her daughter's paternal grandmother (Brenda Blethyn) threaten to take her child away from her. Surrounded by crime and poverty, and fearing her neighbour (Oliver Haden) is also talking to social services, her destructive behaviour begins to increase in line with her paranoia.
