    Storyline

    Edit
    James has learnt to be withdrawn and secretive in a family with long buried secrets. Lonely and confused, he is drawn to one of his schoolteachers, Mr Sutherland, focusing on him as the one person who might understand his inner turmoil. When an older man approaches him in a public toilet, James panics and calls his mother, but refuses to tell her what happened. Late that night, James listens to his parents arguing about him. His fathers offhanded dismissal of his mothers concern results in a vicious row. When a devastated James turns to Mr Sutherland for help, the teachers response leads James to take an irrevocable step. —Anonymous

    Riding in cars with strangers.
    It's a shame that Niall Wright didn't have the support of a decent cast to rival his own acting abilities.

    Poor little James and his sad little face. Bless his cotton socks, I just wanted to mother him, take him under my wing and tell him that it would all be alright.

    I think that it's a shame that even now there needs to be more support for kids like James so they don't end up experiencing things in such a hard and potentially dangerous way. It has similarities to one of the story arcs in Clapham Junction (2007).
