Violet Strong is strong by name, but not by nature - or so she thinks. She listens, but never talks about herself. She's friendly, but doesnt have many real friends. She's become good at keeping people at a distance ever since she left home at eighteen and never looked back. But when Violet is forced to return home to look after her estranged mother Glenys, she quickly finds out that life as a carer isn't easy. Feeling overwhelmed, she's forced to turn to other local carers, including her childhood friend Adam, for help. Although returning home still feels like a mistake, maybe it will help Violet right some wrongs. After all, she can't keep running from her past forever; and in learning to look after others, perhaps Violet can start to finally love herself.
