Project Summary
After losing her state benefits following redundancy, a young woman with little to lose starts building an illegal drug empire. Emily Jones, however, isn't your typical dealer. Sharp, funny, and highly educated, she also has cerebral palsy. People have underestimated Emily her entire life, either patronizing her or ignoring her. What better disguise for criminal activity than being overlooked by the very system meant to uphold the law?
