Samanta, is sixteen, homeless, and a master of living on the streets. Wise and organised, she lives in a derelict prefab, washes her clothes in a local launderette, eats in a Mission kitchen and is well known in the homeless community. No matter how well organised, many dangers exist for a young woman living on the streets, and a simple occurrence can quickly unravel a life into disaster when you live on the margins of society. Unexpectedly, losing her "home" to redevelopment, starts a downward spiral in Samanta’s fortunes. The one thing Samanta has is music. She writes, sings and plays but only for herself, and never in public. The owner of a local music store has taken a fatherly interest in Samanta, letting her play in his shop but soon notices her talent. Resisting the world, Samanta must realise that music can be her savour.
