Dirty God

Jade, portrayed by Vicky Knight, comes back to her home after undergoing treatment for severe burns sustained from a traumatic incident. She is filled with both hope and dread, realizing that her appearance has noticeably changed and that her toddler daughter, Rae, has developed a fear of her due to the scarring.

Despite the support from her mother and close friends, Jade feels an unsettling disconnection from her loved ones. The emotional toll of her injury and its impact on her relationship with her daughter weighs heavily on her mind, making her long for her former social life.

Determined to reclaim her life, Jade seeks out a surgeon in Morocco for facial reconstruction surgery. However, her plans are thwarted when her mother refuses to finance the procedure, leading Jade to search for alternative solutions.

In an effort to fund her surgery, Jade accepts a dead-end job at a call center. It is in this environment that she meets Flavia, a fellow single mother, who becomes a confidante as Jade shares the hurtful details of her past, including the acid attack by her ex-partner.

Tensions escalate between Jade and her mother when Jade discovers that Rae has been allowed to see her paternal grandmother. This revelation leads to a heated argument that results in Jade being temporarily estranged from her home.

Jade's situation worsens when an embarrassing video of her leaks at the call center. This incident further isolates her, deepening her feelings of shame and frustration as she grapples with the public perception of her after the traumatic incident.

In a moment of desperation to fund her trip to Morocco, Jade steals money from her mother. This impulsive decision underscores her determination to pursue the surgery, leading her to hatch a plan to travel with her best friend, Shami.

Jade travels to Morocco with Shami, who brings along her boyfriend Naz, with whom Jade has a complicated past. This unexpected companion creates tension, complicating Jade's emotions as she embarks on her life-changing journey.

While in Morocco, a vulnerable moment arises between Jade and Naz, where they nearly become intimate. However, their interaction is interrupted by Shami's unexpected arrival, leaving Jade conflicted about her feelings for Naz.

To Jade’s dismay, she discovers that the promised plastic surgery is a scam, which shatters her hopes for physical and emotional healing. This crushing realization prompts her to reflect on her choices and the nature of her self-worth.

Amidst the chaos in Morocco, Naz confesses his true feelings for Jade. Even though she is flattered, Jade ultimately decides to reject his advances to respect her friendship with Shami, demonstrating her integrity amidst her struggles.

Upon returning home, Jade begins to experience a shift in her life. The acknowledgment of her struggles and the support from her friends and family leads her to embrace healing, despite the lingering scars from her past.

Jade's hard work pays off as she earns the title of Employee of the Month at her job. This achievement marks a turning point, symbolizing her resilience and determination to rebuild her life.

In a pivotal moment of emotional healing, Jade reconciles with her mother. Their relationship strengthens, indicating a hopeful pathway toward acceptance and understanding amid the challenges Jade continues to face.
