RUSH focuses on the lives of six students at a mainstream college – on their relationships and their ambitions, and on their struggle to make sense of their lives.

RUSH is written and directed by Ray Harrison Graham and produced by Hilary Durman, who together with Cilla Ware created the award-winning dramas Strong Language (Japan Prize, Prix Jeunesse) and Dream On (BAFTA and Royal Television Society).

Episode 5

Last week we found out that Troy is the father of Adam's niece, Kara. Troy has two choices, Errol says – accept responsibility or run. Troy isn't ready for a child, but he says he won't run. Adam isn't responding to Troy's text messages.

Meanwhile, Adam has moved out of the flat he and Troy shared and is staying with Kara at Annie's. At college, Michael gently warns Annie that there's a danger she might get too close to Adam.

Errol and Troy come across Clancy, the man who beat up Errol's ex-girlfriend, Marcia. Troy advises Errol to forget about revenge, but Errol won't take any notice.

At Errol's club, Adam turns angrily on Troy. He is particularly upset that Troy lied about his relationship with Adam's sister.

Nicky comes in and catches up with Wayne. Wayne seems to have plenty of cash, and says it's come from selling some drugs. He gives Nicky some to sell too. Maya is busy warning Kelly not to get too involved with Wayne. Adam sees Nicky giving Kelly something, which he guesses must be drugs, and he turns on Nicky furiously.
