Marie is a young single mother. Teenage pregnancy forced her to grow up quick, skip college, and marry a boy she only just met. She is already divorced and only allowed to see her baby girl every other weekend. She makes ends meet waiting tables at various upscale restaurants, downbeat diners and downright dive-bars in Dallas. Marie is acutely attuned to the appetites of her customers, and quickly learns to hide her own private struggles behind an easy smile and a crisp white apron. But what happens when her shift ends, and the stark truth of her life seeps in around her?

In a world of long hours and late nights, where everything runs on a currency of favours, cash and cachet, Marie loses herself in a mess of sex and the kind of drugs that 'napalm your emotional synapses'. But obliteration - not pleasure - is her goal.

Pulsing with fierce, feral energy, Love Me Back is an unapologetic portrait of a woman cutting a precarious path through early adulthood.
