Mister Frosty

Mister Frosty

Mum's new boyfriend drives an ice-cream van...

Life is changing, it can be hard for a kid to adjust.

 

Kids' life is disrupted when a flirtatious ice-cream man puts the moves on her mother. Mum's wrapped up in her new boyfriend, but instinct tells Kid to be on guard. Alienated and ignored by the adults around her, the boundaries between good and bad are blurred, and by taking matters into her own hands, she is driven to a vengeful act.
