Lenny Henry stars as Frank, a lifer on day release.
Double murderer Frank Watt is allowed out of prison for a series of days prior to being released on licence. On day one, he's looking forward to coming out, but he's institutionalised and things have changed a lot since the 80's. Plus, Frank's got some old business to sort.
Directed by Mary Peate.
