Rose- The Plot

Rose

Rose, a nineteen year old female, is facing every teenager’s idea of hell- as on a daily basis she has to deal with the raff of her abusive father and alcoholic mother, all whilst caring for her younger sibling, whom she has to comfort daily by singing to them; “Ring-a-ring-a-roses”. On Rose’s nineteenth birthday, she receives only a single red rose from her parents. Out of spite and disgust, she burns it, unknown to her mother’s smashed bottle of vodka on the floor... The spilt vodka and the burnt rose create a massive house fire. As the house burns around her Rose panics and without thinking she quickly escapes. To only find out once she’s out that she has left her vulnerable frightened sibling behind....

Six months later, Rose is stuck in a care home all alone and isolated, with nobody left in her life. She’s clearly unhappy when one day she gets an unexpected visit from the police to question her. Paranoid and unsure of what’s going on the police inform her that her sister has gone missing. Confusion consumes Rose as she was certain her sister would have died in the flames that burnt down her home and killed both her parents. With a glimmer of happiness that her sister is still alive Rose goes on the the run to search for her long lost sibling. With nowhere to stay and no knowledge of her sisters whereabouts Rose is sleeping rough and barely surviving. A dash of hope comes along when an attractive young man comforts Rose and offers to give her a place to stay. Wary at first but as time goes on the naive teenager begins to trust her saviour, perhaps too much as she starts to appreciate his good attention. Overtime, her feelings for him become more intense, leading to her willingness to do whatever he asks of her... It soon becomes clear to the audience that he hasn’t got her best interests at heart and he is involved with the disappearance of her young sister. Overhearing a conversation between her sister’s captor and the man she has fallen in love, Rose becomes aware of where her sister is and the dangerous situation she’s got herself into. Frightened and scared Rose runs out of the backdoor and to the location of her sister. As they emotionally reunite Rose vows to never let her go again.
