Before Wentworth
From a young age, Franky had a hard upbringing. Her father left when she was ten, unable to cope with his wife's drinking and drug problems. Her mother blamed Franky for her husband leaving and she was physically abusive to Franky, beating her and burning her with cigarettes. Eventually social services took Franky away from her mother and into foster care.
She was a participant on a reality TV show about underprivileged youth being given the chance to learn to cook, and she violently attacked the host, Mike Pennisi, after he verbally abused her on camera, burning him with a pan of hot oil. The incident, which resulted in third degree burns, went viral, garnering nearly 100 million views.

Wentworth Correctional Centre
The assault resulted in a 7 year sentence at Wentworth Correctional Centre. Franky receives a lot of fan mail at Wentworth, in part due to the nature of her crime. Over time, Franky studied to pass her HSC and worked her way to becoming Top Dog in the prison, though she faces rivalry for the position.
Throughout her time at Wentworth, Franky has relationships with various women, both staff and other inmates. For some time, Franky manages to balance her position as Top Dog, ongoing activities to smuggle a supply drugs and other contraband into prison, and studying for a law degree.
During a prison riot, Franky accidental killed the prison Governor. There were no witnesses or proof, nothing implicating Franky in the crime, but it weighs heavily on her. Eventually, a fight between Franky and, fellow inmate, Bea Smith ensues. Bea wins, turning down the opportunity to kill Franky but resulting in her becoming the new Top Dog.
Parole & Return
Having been released on parole, Franky begins living with prison psychologist, Bridget Westfall, lying to the parole board about where she's staying. She gets a job as an paralegal with Legal Relief, a small law firm.
She ends up back in Wentworth, having been falsely accused of Mike Pennisi's murder. She becomes allies with Allie Novak who eventually helps her make an escape to prove her innocence.
Escape & Exoneration
Franky becomes a fugitive who hides from society and sleeps in abandoned trains. Warning photos of her are put in newspaper advertisements around the city. She goes in search of evidences of her innocence, although nothing very relevant seems to be found, Franky beginning ot understand that it is going to be difficult to prove her innocence.
The police almost catch up with her and, in a pursuit, Frank is shot in her right shoulder. After finding a temporary shelter in a public toilet, Franky is severely hurt after the shooting, and calls Bridget for help.
Hiding again in an abandoned train, they figure out where the most useful evidence they can find will be hidden. As soon as Franky finds the evidence that she needs, the police catch back up with her and, injured, she is unable to escape.
She is then immediately arrested and wakes up in a hospital bed, with Bridget at her side and the detective in charge of her case explaining the charges against her have all been dropped.
