Description

The Barefoot Child tells the poignant story of Lisa and Jess, a mother and daughter torn apart by violence and fate. After years of manipulating the truth, both Lisa and Jess forge new, separate lives.

When six-year-old Jess witnesses her alcoholic father being killed in a struggle, her mother's ex-boyfriend, Ray, rescues her. When Lisa takes the blame, leading to her psychiatric confinement, Ray becomes Jess's guardian, offering her a new life while Lisa agonises over the consequences of her actions.

Twelve years later, Jess begins to unravel the mysteries of her traumatic childhood. Meanwhile, Lisa has rebuilt her life, concealing her painful past. But as Jess uncovers the truth, they reunite.

Can Lisa and Jess reconcile, or are they better off apart?
