Georgia's story is a captivating East End tale with a vibrant backdrop of her grandfather's early connections to the notorious Kray Brothers. Her young mother, struggling with weight loss, turns to drugs, leading to a descent into heroin addiction. The family's once idyllic life crumbles as the husband sells the house and leaves, leaving Georgia to navigate the chaos of drug-fueled abandonment. The once-beautiful home becomes a dilapidated drug den, where Georgia and her siblings are left to fend for themselves. The once-happy childhood vanishes, replaced by a life of dirt and neglect. Georgia witnesses firsthand the devastating effects of drug abuse, alcoholism, and violence. Tragically, her own journey takes a similar path as a teenager when she makes poor choices and becomes involved with a violent partner, resulting in three pregnancies before the age of twenty. Social services intervene, but Georgia's children are taken away and later kidnapped by her abusive partner. In a desperate attempt to protect her family, Georgia flees with him, only to face further abuse and imprisonment. However, her resilience shines through as she eventually breaks free and pursues her education, eventually gaining acceptance to university to study social work. Through her struggles, Georgia emerges as a strong and determined woman, determined to make a positive impact on the lives of others. Her journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and the ability to overcome even the most challenging circumstances.
