The Radleys

Synopsis

The Radleys are an ordinary family, or at least that’s what the neighbours think. No one would suspect that behind all of this, the Radleys hold a dark secret… they are vampires. Only parents Helen and Peter know about the family’s true nature. They are ‘abstainers’, vampires who choose not to drink blood despite their natural cravings. Their teenagers, vegan Clara and lovesick Rowan, have no idea, until one evening Clara is attacked by a boy in her class and her bloodthirsty instincts take over, forcing her parents to finally reveal the truth. With this revelation, Rowan questions his own identity.
The temptation to try his first taste of blood only grows stronger with the arrival of uncle Will, Peter’s twin brother and a practicing vampire, who pulls back the curtain on his vampiric life of hedonism and freedom. Will is all swagger and sex appeal, and his presence throws the whole family off their axis, unleashing suppressed desires for parents and teens alike.

Based on the true story of one woman’s extraordinary ambition to breed and raise a champion racehorse in her home village: Jan Vokes, a cleaner and barmaid, manages to persuade her neighbours and friends to invest in her crazy scheme and together they name the foal ‘Dream Alliance’. With little experience but a lot of heart, the collective of villagers rear Dream, and against all odds he rises through the ranks. Dream proves himself to be more than a match for the multi-million pound racehorses he comes up against - he’s a true people’s champion, taking on the establishment at their own game. But more than this, Dream begins to alter the lives of everyone in this small community, not least Jan’s. He is everything to her: friend, confidant and an escape from her everyday life. A powerful story of triumph over adversity and a tale of how a woman strives to make her dream a reality, and unites her entire community.
