An emotionally stunning coming-of-age story, electrified by the breakthrough performance of its young star Katie Jarvis. Fifteen-year-old Mia is in a constant state of war with her family and the world around her, without any creative outlet for her considerable energies save a secret love of hip-hop dance. When she meets her party-girl mother’s charming new boyfriend Connor (Michael Fassbender, HUNGER, INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS), she is amazed to find he returns her attention, and believes he might help her start to make sense of her life.
