Georgie, a resourceful 12-year-old girl secretly lives alone in her flat in a working-class suburb of London following the death of her mother. She makes money stealing bikes with her best friend Ali and keeps the social workers off her back by pretending to live with an uncle. Out of nowhere, her estranged father Jason arrives and forces her to confront reality. “If you appreciate the no-frills finesse, you’ll be floored.” —London Evening Standard
