From a young age, Lal always wanted a typical 2.4 nuclear family, not even realising that she was being abused by the man who claimed to love her.

Once the realisation hit, her life crumbled and her hopes and dreams were lost. Lal had to run away in the night with her small children to a women's aid refuge, where she lived for over a year before finding a place to call home.

The story follows the relationships with the other women and children, the ups and downs of living with so many displaced characters with severe issues. When put into such a situation, Lal has to learn to fit in quickly. Lal's journey is about barely clinging onto her sanity and battling her thoughts to come out the other side as a strong survivor.
