Written by: Bernard Hare

Plot

A hard living, disillusioned, ex social worker becomes the unlikely savior to an anarchic gang of joy-riding, drug taking, thieving, out of control, care home runaway kids.

Sinekatalog’s take

A drama about a worn-out ex-social worker who becomes an unlikely guardian to a gang of runaway care-home kids. Raw and unruly, it mixes grit with sympathy for lost youth.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
