A seven-year-old mob boss will ruin your life over a lollipop.
After being refused her favourite sweets, Robyn, a young school girl, finds herself seeking revenge on her local corner-shop and Leon, the gawky teenager who mocked and belittled her. Taking inspiration from her mobster idols, she transforms into the bold and confident version of herself before returning to the scene to deliver her own form of sweet, sweet justice.
