Yellow Gold

A dentist's girlfriend with cavities, an elderly career criminal with no-one to turn to but the police, a dismissed housemaid on the way to a back-alley abortion clinic and a crane operator who's never had a man treat her right, for whom gold is cashed-out love.

As each small cruelty only compounds their humiliation, will their hopes pan out, or are the gates to a new future rusted shut?
