Following the tragic death of her husband, Cathy Mason opens her home to young women who need a roof over their head as well as a place of safety.

Cathy reckons it's just part of daily life on the estate but when those she cares about most fall prey to violence, she begins to suspect a past mistake is about to catch up with her - and she's unsure that she'll ever be ready for it...
