Daniel and the Superdogs

Synopsis

Eleven-year-old Daniel is feeling abandoned. His mother died a few months ago and his father Mark, still reeling from the shock, has buried himself in his work. That doesn't leave much time for Daniel and a rift of mutual incomprehension grows between son and father. Happily, Daniel can count on his best friends Colin and William, with whom he hangs around regularly and with whose help he is training an abandoned dog for the Superdog show!

His relationship with April, a girl his age whose mother runs a dog pound, isn't nearly as happy. When all is said and done, however, after a story full of twists and turns, he wins April's affections and he leads his dog Gypsy to victory at the Superdog show.

After five years away from Liverpool, Clara Reynolds has finally managed to distance herself from her troubled past and the criminal family she left behind. But when her notorious father, Gerry, summons her home with the news that he is dying, Clara reluctantly returns to a world she thought she had escaped. Reunited with her volatile younger sister Danika and a colourful collection of criminals, friends and old acquaintances, Clara finds herself surrounded by family rivalries, dangerous schemes and increasingly chaotic situations. Determined not to be dragged back into the family business, she soon discovers that escaping the Reynolds family is considerably easier said than done. Set in Liverpool, a darkly comic British crime film about family, loyalty, bad decisions and the consequences of trying to leave your past behind.
