London to Brighton

The film opens on a rundown public toilet somewhere in South London where a prostitute tries to console a visibly distraught 11-year old girl. As the story unfolds in flashback we learn more about these characters their wounds and how they came to be in their current predicaments. Kelly (Lorraine Stanley) is a beat-up prostitute trying to escape her controlling pimp. While her motives for helping Joanne (Georgia Groome) seem genuine at first things soon turn ugly when an encounter with a male client leads to murder. Cut to the present day and Kelly and Joanne are on the run from the nefarious thugs out to do them harm and from their own demons. Boarding a train from London to Brighton seems like their only hope but ends up being a journey of self-discovery as the mother-daughter-like bond between them grows ever stronger.
