Essex, 1959. Flo earns her money as a scrubber, cleaning the cruise ships and dreaming of a day when she might escape from the squalid tenements of Tilbury docks. Then the Blundell family are evicted. Fred, Flo's husband, finds work at Monday's, a utopian factory town. Suddenly, it seems like everything is on the up. But when Flo's abusive husband Fred starts drinking again, he jeopardises the family's chances. Then he humiliates the company in a charity football match, and he is fired. The Blundells are cast out of their new-found home. Flo is faced with a terrible decision. Must she fight to keep her family together? Or could she strive for the life of her dreams?
