Description/Synopsis:

Razor sharp and darkly funny, Going Down Swinging chronicles two years in the irregular life of eight-year-old Grace and her mother Eilleen Hoffman as they try to stay one step ahead of Child Protection Services in both Toronto and Vancouver. Lousy luck in love and more than a recreational use of drugs and alcohol has brought Eilleen to the brink - and now the authorities are threatening to take Grace from her. Full of sweetness and confusion, precociousness and naivete, Grace is Eilleen's last hope for a creating a life beyond the margins.
