- Jameela runs from her grieving British Pakistani family. Betrayed in the city, she starts a new life playing football, earning her own living. But she must eventually face the family she abandoned and come to terms with her past.
- Jameela, an 18 year-old from a close-knit British Pakistani community, runs away to escape her distant father, hostile brother and the grief of her mother's recent death. Betrayed by her boyfriend when they reach the city, Jameela has nowhere to go, no one to turn to and is terrified of returning home - so she starts a new life. Already a talented footballer, she becomes involved with a local club and learns to stand on her own two feet to earn a living. But eventually Jameela must come to terms with the family and life she left behind... With a powerful character arc for Jameela, the dizzying highs of intense football matches and a frank exploration of social issues and pressures in modern Britain, Daughter is an entirely unique and engaging story of grief, family, empowerment and one girl's journey to adulthood.
