Cara is a shy and unassuming 15 year old girl in an average secondary school who becomes drawn into the whirlwind of the County Lines organised crime phenomenon. Falling for a good looking and popular school peer - Jack - Cara becomes an exploited teenager battling against the pressure to keep up with the hard drinking toxic masculine culture that surrounds her.
Aiden is an intelligent and cultured young man who has secretly held feelings for Cara since their days in primary school together. Aiden is lacking in self confidence but he tries desperately to offer Cara a way out.
This is a piece of musical theatre in four acts that covers the landscape of criminal and sexual exploitation facing children and young people in even the most apparently mundane communities across the UK today.
Presented in bold and fast paced movements, with musical scores to emphasise the mood and feeling of the events - this play will transport you through the ups and downs, the exhilaration and the devastation - that has hooked thousands of young people into criminalised behaviours and tragic life outcomes. This is a didactive piece that teaches as it entertains - creating insight and understanding with the presentation of characters that are complex, consistent and sincere.
