An intergalactic explorer is rescued by aliens who warn them about Earth: a toxic wasteland with few humans left.

Shona’s life is a reflection of Oliver’s. Her sympathetic English teacher, Miss Cavani (Rosie Hilal), who has seen innocent but impressionable children corrupted, attempts to use Oliver Twist to help Shona understand the situation she is in – and how to get out of it. Shona recognises the similarity between Oliver and herself, comparing people in her life to characters from the novel (Cavani is Nancy) and even envisioning characters coming to life – like a psychological horror – whilst insisting that she is not Oliver Twist. The hero wakes up in the care of a nation’s leader and becomes their closest ally until they learn the truth.
