Set in 1987 it is the story of Claireece 'Precious' Jones (Gabourey Sidibe) a sixteen year old girl born into a life no one would want. She's pregnant for the second time by her absent father, at home, she must wait hand and foot on her mother (Mo'Nique) a poisonously angry woman who abuses her emotionally and physically.
