Dana is eight years old and has anorexia. The Cutting Edge team follows her through a twelve-week programme at a specialist clinic, filming the daily work of getting a child that young to eat again: weigh-ins, meal supervision, therapy sessions, and the arguments at the table when food becomes a battle instead of a meal. Doctors and clinic staff describe what makes childhood anorexia different from the adult version, including how much harder it is to explain restriction and body image to a patient who is still losing baby teeth. Dana's parents appear throughout, caught between hope that the programme is working and the fear that put them there in the first place. The film uses her case to ask a wider question the clinic staff raise directly: why an illness once associated almost entirely with teenagers is now turning up in children barely out of infancy, and whether the usual explanations still hold.
