Last Resort

A young Russian woman, Tanya, arrives in London with her 10-year-old son Artyom, hoping to start a new life with her fiancé Mark. But when Mark fails to show up at the airport, Tanya is forced to apply for political asylum and is transferred to a grimy seaside resort called Stonehaven, where refugees are housed. Despite the difficult conditions, Tanya tries to make the best of her situation, but struggles to provide for her son and herself. She meets Alfie, a former boxer who runs the local amusement arcade, who takes pity on her and helps her out. As they spend more time together, Tanya and Alfie develop feelings for each other, but Tanya is hesitant to open up and risk getting hurt again. Meanwhile, Artyom gets mixed up with a group of troubled kids, and Tanya must confront the harsh realities of their situation. Will Tanya and Alfie find a way to escape Stonehaven and start a new life together, or will their pasts and circumstances tear them apart?
