Description
Created by multi-award winning writer Tony Marchant this drama explores the relationship between 28 year-old Eddie, recently released on life licence from prison after serving 10 years, and his probation officer, Paula, returning from suspension following a shocking crime committed by an offender under her supervision. It looks at the criminal justice system from the points of view of the ‘offender’ and the ‘gatekeeper’. It’s about disgraced individuals trying to reclaim their lives and their reputations. It’s also a forbidden love story. The stories of Eddie and Paula are complex, gripping, surprising and incredibly moving, while the writing beautifully and powerfully explores the issue of rehabilitation and whether as a society we really believe in it.
