Main Idea

We start the soap with an establishing shot of a rough estate so that it sets the right setting and shows Kate has a working class status. Next, the audience is informed that Kate and her sister are new in town when she welcomes her home.
Then we see Kate bumping into Russel in the 6th form common room, they introduce themselves to each other, we see sparks fly.
Adel notices this and turns to Aysha, they exchange looks, Adelina is about to mention Kate's name, when we change shots and Adel slams Kate's locker and introduces herself in and abrupt way.
We hear the school bell ring and Kate is running out of the class room. Mr Hull is yelling at her about overdue coursework while she is running out.

Then we change scenes in Kate's bedroom were she begs her sister to let her off baby sitting for one night, but her sister does not take any of it and walks out to go to work. Kate is in her room trying to do coursework but cant concentrate because her sisters twins are crying. From this scene the audience discover that her sister is struggling to cope, she works night shifts and possibly days to provide for her sister and baby. She obviously needs to go otherwise she would not jeopardise her own sisters education.
That is followed by Kate's phone ringing 'Russel calling' comes up. she looks down, smiles and answers it. when she says 'hi'. We change shots fast to a cat fight in the girls toilets between Arta and Adel. Here we discover Adel's true colours that she is in fact a bitch.

Then we see Arta sitting outside of school with her face all bruised looking down at her phone 'Mal calling', she does not pick up. From this the audience is informed that Kate is quite scared of her older sister, or possibly angry at her for bringing her to the new estate in the first place.

We change back to the 6th form common room where Adel and Russel are together, Adel is flirting with him but his attention seems to be somewhere else all the time. Russel sees Kate and gets up away from Adel to link Kate. As the two walk off, Adel is left feeling embarrassed and jealous.

Next, Russel phones Kate to come to the window and there is a "Romeo and Juilet" moment however this is quickly ruined when Adels older brother and intimidating gang members come to trouble Russel.

Kate is in her room when she hears a gunshot. Kate is walking to her house when she too hears a gunshot. Kate is running down to the scene when someone pulls her back. Kate too runs up and we get a 180 degree pan of her face looking horrified,. we go to a black out when the title comes up and Mals's voice over "We should of never came here"
