Due to open doors for the first time tomorrow, worries about her social awkwardness flare up and she confides in her only companion - her favourite plant cactus. Alice’s past seems to haunt her in unexpected bursts. She must trust in nature - it is what she knows and what she loves… She must make this work before she becomes trapped by her past…
