Castaways

Work:: Castaways (S1779301640)

Three teenagers born on the same day, in the same town but with very different backgrounds. Inseparable since they were knee-high to a grasshopper, they're a close-knit trio, both at school and at home. Sam, Asha and Kieran watch out for each other, until one day a shocking event blows their teenage world apart - and their friendship with it. Castaways explores the nature of friendship, trauma and tribal loyalties in a neighbourhood where the blue touch paper is waiting to be lit.
