Through the view from her till window, Saoirse Kennedy, a young petrol station attendant is drawn into the harsh world of a trafficked immigrant car washer.  The two underdogs build a bond of trust and mutual humanity, as they work side by side, but in completely different realities.  The clues that this young man is being trafficked are everywhere, but Saoirse just doesn’t pick up on them. In David’s eyes, she is his only hope, if only she opens her eyes  properly and sees what’s happening.    Saoirse is inadvertently drawn into David’s world, a word of coercion,  violence, drug smuggling and intimidation. When she realises what’s happening,  Saoirse must make a decision; self preservation or the preservation of others.
