15 year old Danny lives in Dudley with his foster carer, Karen. He’s noticed there’s something the matter with a girl at school - Emma. She’s withdrawing into herself and people are starting to pick on her because of her dirty clothes and unkempt appearance. Sensing something is seriously wrong, Danny brings together his trusty band of mates. Argumentative twins Sian and Bethan, geeky Alistair, hard-man Ben, Shush (the girl who doesn’t speak), and feisty Sahara all start to plan a heist. They decide to rescue Emma from the home situation she cannot escape. Her parents have been arguing for years. Alcohol, unemployment and violence are the backdrop to Emma’s life. Danny recognizes this because his own past experiences mean he can understand the pain Emma’s hiding from everyone. Meanwhile, Emma is coping by escaping to a wonder-world of medieval pageantry. Her imaginary Ladies-in-Waiting, Amelia (played by Amy Sanders) and Lyndella (played by a Chatback young person), try to give her lessons in self confidence, whilst in the real world things go from bad to worse. To add to Emma’s misery even her big brother Scar is stealing from her.
