Synopsis: | The storyline centres on the Afro-Caribbean family of Al, a mobile phone fixer, and his wife Shirley. They are comfortably enough off, would like to move to a safer neighbourhood and have three (street-)smart, teenaged kids. As such, they will be instantly recognisable to most audience members. The catalyst for a traumatic week is the arrival on the scene of a boyfriend for 16-year-old Jess. JJ works in Boots but has ambitions as a DJ and is a pretty mean rapper. That is fine for his loved-one's folks and even his colour is not too much of a problem. The one downside is a brother. Piers is a seriously nasty piece of work and his influence will eventually affect the whole family. While Elijah just wants to look after his sister, the youngest family member, Alex, sees Piers as a role model in her attempts to lead a girl gang into the murky depths of mini-gangsterism. The issues come to a head following a series of muggings and a stream of eye-opening revelations for some pretty hip parents who mistakenly believed that they knew their children. | |||||
