The story

Sarah, a woman addicted to alcohol and drugs, is the mother of three abused and neglected daughters, 14-year-old Agnes, 12-year-old Bee, and 8-year-old Cammie.

Agnes believes Duval is her boyfriend and that he loves her, despite being much older and his abuse towards her mother.

The four fled, and Sarah, struggling to take care of the girls on her own, became a prostitute after meeting Duval.
