It is 1962 and pretty seventeen-year-old Greta has no father and loathes her mother's latest boyfriend. She's happiest at work with her friends in Birmingham's Cadbury factory, but when her missing vixen of a sister, Marlene, turns up during the worst winter for decades, Greta decides she has to get away, and the only escape route is marriage. She soon finds out that life with her old classmate Trevor is not as she'd hoped and, pregnant and homeless, she takes refuge with her mother's old friends Edie and Anatoli, who provide a safe haven - until appalling tragedy shatters Greta's world...
