Franky's movement from revenge-driven isolation toward meaningful connection begins through her love for Florence.
Franky is introduced as a young nurse shaped by a traumatic event from fifteen years earlier. Her fixation on revenge and guilt prevents her from forming meaningful relationships.
Franky's unresolved need to assign blame continues to dominate her emotional life. Her desire for revenge leaves her unable to connect meaningfully with others.
Florence becomes a patient under Franky's care, creating a new relationship in Franky's otherwise isolated life. Their connection grows into romantic feeling.
Franky's love for Florence helps her gradually overcome trauma-induced isolation. She begins moving toward the meaningful relationships she previously could not build.
23-year-old Franky is a nurse who lives with her large family in an East London borough. Obsessed with a thirst for revenge and a need to assign guilt for a traumatic event that happened 15 years before, she is unable to build any meaningful relationship until she falls in love with one of her patients – Florence. They escape to the coast where Florence lives with her more open-minded patchwork family. There, Franky finds the emotional shelter to deal with the grudges of the past.
