Sometimes you have to resolve the past before you can face the future.

Lauren Ramsey is a teacher whose mantra is to never let a child fall through the cracks. But Lauren is so concerned about the welfare of a little boy in her kindy class she doesn't realise her own daughter, Skye, needs help.

The only person who seems to listen to fourteen-year-old Skye is Tamara Thompson, the manager of her favourite clothes shop. Tamara remembers all too vividly what it's like to be a troubled teen.

Lauren, Tamara and Skye are all searching for a happier future, but finding it may lie in resolving secrets from their pasts ...
