The story

Tyler meets G at a point when money is tight and bullying is making life difficult. G helps him and his sister pay the electric bill, teaches him how to carry himself and stands up for him. When G later asks Tyler to do something in return, the apparent friendship begins to reveal the pressures and exploitation underneath it.

In the room

An educational drama about county lines exploitation, using one young person’s relationship with an apparently helpful new friend to show how recruitment and obligation can develop.

Good fit if you like

socially focused drama, stories about coercion, young protagonists and theatre dealing directly with exploitation.
