    • Hectic days and late nights. Londoner Daphne is caught up in the daily rush of her restaurant job, and a nightlife kaleidoscope of new faces. She is strong, funny, and acerbic but deep down she is not happy. Stuck in a rut, she can’t move forward. When she saves the life of a shop keeper, stabbed in a failed robbery, the impenetrable armor she wears to protect herself begins to crack and Daphne is forced to fight against the inevitability of a much needed change in her life.
