Abused by her fathers cousin (Mustapha), Elshera (Iranian/Kurd), an illegal immigrant (in the UK) is forced into a life of crime (Identity and Welfare fraud). As an illegal immigrant and owing for her, and her three daughters' passage, Elshera is bound to Mustapha and his scams. When a Giro (social security cheque) goes missing, Mustapha pushes Elshera too far, when he takes her baby. A tale of oppression and redemption; it takes the help of another woman, from a different culture and background, to help bring hope into Elshera's life.
