Inappropriate
Synopsis
Unable to cope with his imploding family life, Oscar Walden (Tim Plester - Andor, After-Life) arrives on a call out as a volunteer Appropriate Adult. Here, Oscar crosses paths with troubled teenage detainee,
Jordan Tempest (Francesco Piacentini-Smith - Waterloo Road, I Swear), who, despite Oscar's vain attempts to connect with Jordan and help him through his arrest, is soon running circles around him.
Off kilter and with emotions running high, can Oscar find a way to get through to Jordan or is it futile?
