Beth Brannen, an austere and secretive woman, operates a successful business in a little-known part of Cumbria. A mysterious woman with an ugly facial scar who never ventures beyond the safe, local bubble she has created. She refuses to talk about her past except for her beloved son, Sidney.

The arrival of an arrogant clinical psychologist, Theo Kendrick, threatens the sanctuary of Beth's bubble. Trapped in their separate griefs, their interaction fizzes and crackles its way to a grudging respect. Convinced Beth is hiding a dark secret, Theo sets about untangling the mystery, but what if he is only making things worse? It's only a matter of time until the shocking events of thirty years before are laid bare.

As the action unfolds in real time and through flashbacks against a backdrop spanning the troubles in Northern Ireland, the Gulf War, and the Iraq War, Toy Soldier tells a story of love and loss, of survival and resilience that explores the nature of motherhood and poses some searching questions about the concept of choice.
