Mia is 26 years old. She is a drug addict and a prostitute. In a world of crack, heroin, short term relationships, and too many dark days, she's trying to lead a half-way decent life. Trying to be there for her family and for her friends when they need her. Trying to keep her addiction from killing her. Trying to live a life other people wouldn't deem worthy. Mia behind Copenhagen's Grand Central Station. This is the area which holds the city's red light district. It has been a tough year for Mia. She lost her boyfriend to an overdose, her own addiction got worse and she hardly saw her six year old daughter who is in foster care.
