The 1980s. Kate Meaney is a serious-minded and curious young girl who spends her time with her toy monkey acting out the role of a junior detective. She notes goings-on at the Green Oaks shopping centre and in her street, particularly the newsagents where she is friends with the owners son Adrian. When she disappears, Adrian falls under suspicion and is hounded by the press.
