15-year-old Mia Williams (Katie Jarvis) lives with her single mother Joanne (Kierston Wareing) and younger sister Tyler (Rebecca Griffiths) in a run-down, East London council estate. Suspended from school, she fills her days searching for the next alcohol fix and hanging out in a derelict flat near her home. When her mother brings her new boyfriend Conor (Michael Fassbender) home to meet the girls, Mia soon finds herself attracted to him. Unfortunately for all concerned, the feeling seems mutual.
