She’s never known her dad and her mum’s an alcoholic and is not capable of looking after herself, let alone her 11 year old daughter.

But Cat is angry and resentful and resists Maya’s attempts at friendship and soon Maya’s idea of a perfect family is blown out of the water.As tensions rise and secrets come out, will the girls ever become friends, let alone sisters?
