Mum is suffocatingly over-protective of Ayrton, who just wants to be a normal boy. At his new school, he discovers that his new friend Stanley is linked to him in an astonishing way: Stanley's grandma was the woman who took Ayrton while his mum's back was turned. She became estranged from her own family because of her actions and Stanley has never known her. Together the boys decide to track down the grandma â€“ now a famous artist with the Banksy-style pseudonym Vixen â€“ but will Ayrton's mother can get answers to the questions that torment her, and will Ayrton be able to live a more free life?
