Tilly, a young girl, despises her stepfather Dave due to his abusive treatment towards her mother. Despite the abuse, her mother refuses to leave him, leaving Tilly in a state of fear for her own safety. Frightened for her wellbeing, Tilly requests to be placed in foster care, and she is subsequently entrusted to the care of Cathy.
Upon her arrival, Cathy notices a graze on Tilly's cheek, which raises her concern about the nature of Dave's behavior. This concern intensifies when Cathy learns that Dave has been showering Tilly with gifts, a troubling development that further heightens Cathy's vigilance. As Cathy devotes her attention to ensuring Tilly's safety and wellbeing, she is also burdened with a difficult decision that will significantly impact the course of her own daughter Lucy's life. Cathy hopes that Lucy will make the right choice, as the outcome will have far-reaching consequences.
While Tilly's safety and Cathy's own family matters are the primary focus, the underlying tension and unease created by Dave's abusive actions loom large, creating a sense of uncertainty and concern for all involved. The delicate balance between Tilly's need for protection, Cathy's own familial responsibilities, and the looming threat posed by Dave's behavior sets the stage for a complex and emotionally charged narrative.
Throughout this challenging situation, Cathy remains steadfast in her efforts to shield Tilly from further harm, while also grappling with the weighty decision that will affect her own daughter's future. The intricate web of relationships, emotions, and difficult choices paints a poignant picture of the challenges faced by those caught in the midst of domestic abuse and the rippling effects it can have on those around them.
