Chantelle has everything going against her.
She''s a good student who only wants to pass her exams and find a way out of the sink estate in Manchester where she grew up. But now her feckless mother has taken off for Spain with her latest boyfriend and she''s single-handedly raising her tearaway nine-year-old brother Leon.

A part-time job seems to be the answer to Chantelle''s prayers. But the violence is about to come home to her - with a vengeance. And the only person who''s offering any help seems to be just as bad as the people she''s trying to escape from . . .
