Having rejected Angus Patrick after Social Security turn up unexpectedly at her home, and later made homeless by spite from her former lovers, Natalie and her children Ben and Alice end up having to stay with Sonia, the woman she inadvertently splashed in her car that fateful morning at her council home with her children. The situation though is not ideal, with Sonia developing an unhealthy attachment to her, and Natalie balking at the complications of claiming on Social Security. Going to the Job Centre, she eventually finds a job at a haulage firm for little money, but her children are hating their new life. She finds that Angus Patrick is not a man to easily give up his pursuit of her, but is thrown when an unexpected visitor pays a visit to Sonia's home one night with an unpalatable proposition.
