Duncan Allen lies in his bathroom bleeding to death. Duncan's son, Stuart, has found his father and wants answers. Derek, Kelly's pimp, needs to find Kelly or it will be him who pays. Kelly and Joanne need to get through the next 24 hours.

LONDON TO BRIGHTON is a gritty thriller that follows a prostitute and a young runaway on the run to Brighton in a desperate fight to save their own lives before it's too late. Amid murder, prostitution and revenge, all Kelly and Joanne have is hope and each other.
