Set in a tough Yorkshire town during the 1970s, the story follows two ten-year-old girls from starkly different backgrounds—emotionally neglected Gemma and semi-feral Pauline. As Gemma grapples with her parents' breakup and fantasizes about a child star, Pauline yearns for the comforts of Gemma's life. Their chance encounter with a film crew leads to a series of events that amplify the harsh realities of childhood, revealing the dark side of their world as playground bullying escalates, ultimately impacting their lives in profound ways.
