By Christopher Reason

Psychological drama. The body of a local teenage girl has been discovered. Members of a so-called 'grooming gang' have been arrested and tensions are running high. Rachel Collier is a probation officer in the town and hears rumours of foul play. And then her own daughter goes missing.

Director . . . . . Sasha Yevtushenko

Chris Reason has been a core writer on EastEnders since 1993 (over two hundred scripts), but has taken several breaks during that time to work for other long-running serials and to retain his enthusiasm for radio drama. His best work usually explores psychologically complex relationships both at home and the workplace. It tends to deal with serious contemporary social and political issues, but Chris is firmly of the belief that such work finds its biggest and most attentive audience when the scripts are sharp, funny and above all, entertaining.
