Using her natural charm and her skill for impersonation, she's swept into the world of crime and eventually becomes one of London's most notorious female criminals. When he goes on the run, she seizes her chance to leave behind her old life and create something better for her daughter. She's a loving and devoted mother to her four-year-old daughter, Dottie, but trapped in an awful marriage to a violent thug. Set in the 1980s, Joan is a fiery young woman in her twenties.
