Synopsis

It's Danny Nolan's big chance - to show off his natural talent as an actor in front of two screen legends, to break himself out of the cycle of rejection, unhappiness and petty crime that has been his life since he was a small child. But Danny has run away...Detective-Inspector Ray Whitelaw thinks - like everyone else - that Danny is just another young thug. But Danny's drama teacher is Keiran Henshall, who himself escaped from a similar existence when he was a teenager. No matter where Ray Whitelaw turns, all the trails lead back to one family - the Denstones. They are somehow involved in the story of the unwanted boy and his troubled past. And until Whitelaw untangles the lies, deceptions and buried secrets of the Denstone family, a killer is walking free.
