Synopsis

A thriller centring on the relationship between two friends - Kirsty has escaped heroin addiction, and the dangerous world of sex-work to facilitate this addiction, only with massive fortitude and determination. She cherishes her new life with her partner and two young daughters and is desperate for her mate Becky, still trapped in a cycle of drug-dependency and sex-work, to do the same.
However, as Becky finds herself in her deep trouble with a ruthless drug dealer, Kirsty is pulled back into a violent world she fought so hard to be free of, creating a deadly threat to her and her family. As events build to a brutal climax, Kirsty must decide how much she will risk for her friend.
A gripping human story, with authentic characters under extreme pressure. Shot entirely in Bristol, England, with dark back-streets and alleyways reminiscent of those of any major city.
