Delilah’s mother is an alcoholic sex worker. Shunned by her peers, Delilah’s small circle of ‘friends’ are eclectic individuals, wary of the authorities and with their own issues. Adept at avoiding her social worker, a grisly discovery forces Delilah to speak to the police. Once taken into care, her pursuit of acceptance, affection and a regular drug-dealer leaves Delilah even more vulnerable. An awkward alliance forms, between those who care for Delilah and the professionals involved, but the lines between right and wrong begin to blur in their efforts to keep her safe. And their approaches to the problem are worlds apart.
