Fiercely independent Jessica, a young disabled woman, is training to be a teacher and dreams of being a writer. It鈥檚 Friday, 13 March 2020 and the global pandemic is emerging, budget cuts are being made and the threat of a first lockdown looms.

We meet Jessica returning home from a 鈥榬ush job鈥� hen night at Dante鈥檚 nightclub, where leather-and-chain-clad men served drinks suggestively. Jessica鈥檚 鈥榣ast night of freedom鈥� is far from what any of us could imagine, as the independent life she has worked so hard for is turned upside down when she is told her care package is to be cut.

What will fianc茅 Josh make of what 鈥榗an-do Jess鈥� can鈥檛 do as a result? As her story unfolds, she introduces us to the 鈥榟oly trinity鈥� 鈥� her mum and two aunts 鈥� who have guided her life, pulling her in different directions, and we see the extraordinary mix of pride and sensitivity, and the fight that comes when you want to hold on to your independence and dignity. Her fight for survival is on.
