When Hanh is offered a job as a shop assistant in Hanoi, she hopes to earn money to help her family. But it’s a trick. She is forced into child labour in an illegal clothing factory.

For the child workers, life in the sweatshop is a daily nightmare of long hours, poor food and regular violence. Trapped hundreds of miles from home, Hanh and her friends are desperate to escape. But freedom rests on them taking a dangerous chance – and a sacrifice that will change them for ever.
