Jamie and Leanne are the best of friends and the two girls find themselves constantly being caught up in trouble including the London riots which saw hundreds of police try and stop the chaos happening in the city. Neither have anyone to rely on and their lives have offered them little in the way of love and affection all these things makes their bond of friendship that much stronger.
Both the teenage girls live in a group home called Alpha House which homes some of society's most at risk kids. Jamie finds herself taken on by a new case worker who's called Kate; the in-house worker has a caring heart and reads about how Jamie lost her mother to a heroin overdose.
One day as Kate's walking the halls, she heard Jamie singing to herself in her bedroom, Kate encourages Jamie by telling her about her good vocal skills but the conversation is soon cut short of Leanne and her continually snappy demeanor.
As Jamie eventually finds herself having to listen to Kate, the pair band over their shared love of music and singing and Kate introduces Jamie to a choir. Though she's extremely reluctant and feeling out of her comfort zone, Jamie gives it a go and eventually comes to find that she has found a little happiness in the choir.
Even though Jamie takes pleasure from the choir, Leanne won't allow her friend to her street way of life as she doesn't see why it would help her. Despite everything, Jamie takes the small opportunity she's been given and puts her all into finally having a little something she can call her own.
