It is winter-time and Eileen Dunlop is dreaming of escaping her life...

In the meantime, her time is spent caring for her alcoholic father, working as a secretary in a prison and shoplifting.

When the beautiful, charismatic Rebecca Saint John arrives on the scene as the new counsellor at the prison, Eileen is enchanted, unable to resist what appears to be a miraculously budding friendship.

But soon, Eileen's affection for Rebecca pulls her into a crime that far surpasses even her own wild imagination.
