Synopsis

This uncompromising insight into the consequences of drug abuse reinforces the reputation for fact-based, workshop drama that the Amber Collective first forged in 1968. When teenage junkie Sanchez Coulson kills himself, ex-youth worker Barry Gough and single mum Emma Dowson become embroiled in father Brian Hogg's quest for revenge against the local dealers. Discussing everything from unemployment and addiction to theft and harness racing with stark authenticity, this is made all the persuasively harrowing by the cast's gritty restraint.
