Tracy is a very troubled child living in a therapeutic care home in the 1980s. ‘Finding Helen’ uses an engaging mix of her caseworker’s notes, heartfelt poetry which she writes to express her innermost thoughts and feelings, and a narrative of her volatile true-life story. As her case-worker Helen and the other staff attempt to understand the reasons behind Tracy’s abusive and self-destructive behaviour, Tracy is torn between her desire to kill those around her and her desperate need to be loved. But as her negative behaviour escalates and the threat of psychiatric care becomes increasingly likely, can one woman’s love be enough to save her?
