A mother on the brink. An out-of-control teenager. And the devoted foster carer determined to save them. Fourteen-year-old Hannah is a teenager in crisis. Previously a good student, a loving daughter and sister, Hannah is now playing truant, drinking, and taking drugs. Unable to cope with her daughter's out-of-control behaviour, her mum pleads with Social Services to take her into care. Maggie Hartley is used to caring for difficult teenagers, but Hannah's behaviour brings into question everything she has learnt in all her years as a foster carer. When Hannah finally breaks down and confides a shocking secret to Maggie, the truth behind her chaotic behaviour is finally revealed. Can Maggie help this vulnerable young girl break free from the dangerous web she's trapped in? And will Hannah ever be able to escape her demons?
