Thirteen tells the story of Ivy Moxam, a 26-year-old woman who was abducted at the age of 13 and held in a cellar for the next 13 years of her life. The story begins when she escapes from her captor's house, and we follow Ivy as she is taken to the police station. Here, she meets her family liaison officer, as well as D.I. Carne and D.S. Merchant, who proceed to interview her. Her family are informed after information leaks to the press, and DNA test results confirm that she is the Moxams' daughter.
We then learn that Ivy's childhood crush, Tim, has moved on with his life and got married, but he does not relay this information to Ivy. Ivy runs from her home when everything becomes too much, and it is Tim who finds her. After Carne tells her that she should 'press play' on her life and start living again, she decides to write a letter to Tim, as they used to in the past. Despite this, D.S. Merchant warns Carne that Ivy is getting attached to him, which becomes clear in the episode when she tells him that she trusts him, and he gives her his business card in case she needs someone to talk to.
