Rose Plays Julie

Rose is an only child and has enjoyed a loving relationship with her adoptive parents. However, for as long as Rose can remember she has wanted to know her biological parents. After years trying to trace her birth mother, Rose now has a name and a number. All she has to do is pick up the phone and call. When she does it quickly becomes clear that her birth mother has no wish to have any contact. Rose travels from Dublin to London in an effort to confront her birth mother, Ellen who is deeply disturbed when Rose turns up and Ellen is forced to reveal a secret she has kept hidden for over 20 years. This revelation forces Rose to accept the violent nature of how she came into existence. Rose believes she has little to lose but much to gain when she sets out to confront her biological father. What Rose cannot foresee is that she is on a collision course that will prove both violent and unsettling.
