First Broadcast:

13 year-old David and nine year-old Danni live in a children's home, where despite the best of adult intentions, there is conflict and sudden tragedy. When the pair escape the home, they embark upon a daring adventure in search of the beach.

In the emotional story written by Stephen Butchard, Julia Ford and Brendan Coyle play two social workers struggling with the contradictions of an institution where their best can never be good enough.
