All this girl knows, is her little forgotten corner and that is all. It is interesting that being the only girl in huge area, and with customers that give her open compliments and offers, Shell (Chloe Pirrie) stays down to earth. Being seventeen, she has urges and wants much more from life than she has. Her father Pete (Joseph Mawle) knows that the moment when Shell will leave is close. With internal conflicts and strong bonds between them, Pete and Shell have to deal with various problems that human nature is bringing to them. Twists and turns in the story will surprise most of the audience. Ending is sad and makes this drama even heavier. Pete chooses to set them both free. Left alone, Shell realised that if she stays where she is, nothing is going to change. Decision to leave will comfort the audience and it will make impact of the move less bitter.
