Lollipop is a life affirming and timely story that follows Molly (Posy Sterling), a young woman who, having just been released from prison, battles to regain custody of her children. When she reconnects with her childhood friend Amina (Idil Ahmed), a fellow single mother trying to make a life for her family, the two women soon realise their only chance is to join forces and take destiny into their own hands.
