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 underprivileged estate in Manchester where she's growing up.
But now her feckless mother has taken off for Spain with her latest boyfriend and so Chantelle is single-handedly raising her tearaway nine-year-old brother, Leon. She thinks her worst problem is the debt collectors at the door. But Leon has made some new friends: teenage gang members who have given him a mobile phone, a knife - and some drugs to hide in their flat.
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...
