One of a brood of school-age prostitutes working the streets of London, Stella is a virtual prisoner of her sleazy, paternalistic pimp, Mr. Peters. Realizing that she must make her escape, Stella hooks up with Eddie, a young junkie, to confront the ghosts of her past and make a clean start. She soon learns, however, that escaping a past such as her own is precarious. Forced to turn one last trick, Stella seizes a perfect opportunity to wreak revenge on her pimp and finally gain freedom.

The film looks at the history of women's struggles in South Africa, focusing on three key generations in dialogue with each other. It highlights the historic 1956 women's march to the Union Buildings, the 1976 Activists and the post ’94 generation.
