    • Mitten in der Nacht rast ein Krankenwagen durch London. In letzter Minute wird das Leben des zweijährigen Christopher gerettet, den der Freund seiner Mutter brutal misshandelt und schwer verletzt hat. Der Täter kommt ins Gefängnis, aber der kleine Junge kehrt nie wieder nach Hause zurück. Seine drogensüchtige Mutter und ihre Tochter Kaitlyn bleiben allein. Kaitlyn glaubt, dass alles ihre Schuld ist. Sie will ihrer Mutter helfen, und sie will weg aus der Sozialwohnung in einem von Londons übelsten Vierteln. Vor allem will sie wieder mit ihrem kleinen Bruder zusammen sein. Aber als sie sich wiedersehen, sind dreißig Jahre vergangen, und Kaitlyn ist nicht mehr dieselbe.

    • Frankie hat einen Fehler gemacht: Statt einfach nur überleben zu wollen, was auf den Straßen von London schon schwer genug ist, hat sie einen Mann umgebracht, der ein kleines Mädchen zur Prostitution zwingen wollte. Seither ist sie auf der Flucht: vor der Polizei, vor den brutalen Freunden des Zuhälters und vor der eigenen Vergangenheit. Und der zweite Fehler lässt nicht auf sich warten: Ohne es zu wissen, gelangt sie in den Besitz geheimer Daten, die nicht nur für sie tödlich sein können. Wohin soll sie gehen, wenn es keine Zuflucht mehr gibt?
