Nine year-old Grace, lives a latch-key life. Running the bleakest of errands for her dad. She seeks solace in a fantasy existence of sequined leotards, arabesques, spins and audience applause, as she skates her way through the local housing estate to score from her favourite dealer.

On the way home, a run in with some bigger girls makes her drop the gear, but ever resourceful, Grace has an ingenious plan, then the police show up.
