Chloe is a 18 year old girl who has just come out of the care system. Abandoned by her abusive alcoholic mother. She was passed on from home to home and sexually abused by her Uncle. She cannot wait to start a life of freedom. Leave the home behind. No cares, and no adults to stop her from having fun. She wants nothing more than to drink and party. She realises all too soon that this is not possible and wishes she had paid more attention to her key worker Taz. Now on her own, she must drag herself from her position lest she end up like her mother and all the other girls she knew at the home, with no job and an unwanted pregnancy. Thus continuing a vicious cycle of abuse and abandonment.
