Tony is a smart 17-year-old. He undermines his dad on a daily basis and effortlessly covers up for his little sister's covert delinquency. He's so smart he believes he can even get his best mate Sid laid, and make a profit; and Abigail's party seems like the perfect place to do both. Inevitably his dope deal goes wrong, and, unsurprisingly, so does Sid's quest to lose his virginity. But when a stolen car ends up in the river with the unpaid-for drugs in it, Tony and his mates are right in it.

Cassie can trick everyone. In her magical world the skinny bonkers girl still manages to fool everyone that she's beating her eating disorder. Her parents Marcus and Margeritte are well and truly duped. But Sid isn't.

The only person except Allan that is, Allan the taxi driver, who takes her to the clinic and who is the only adult she trusts, and the only person to ever see her actually eat anything. Meanwhile, Michelle has a food issue of her own when Mum returns from holiday to find their house has been the scene of one almighty food and booze fight.

Jal is not your average ghetto girl; nowhere near. But what's the point of having the Young Musician of the Year competition within reach if those around you don't even notice? Jal's problem is her dad: he may be Bristol's answer to P Diddy, but when it comes to his daughter he's lost the plot. Sid has got a big problem of his own: a problem THAT goes by the name of Mad Twatter. Mad T won't rest until he's got his hands on his drugs, his money or Sid, and, as usual, Tony has left his best mate to take it on the chin - literally.

Happy-go-lucky party animal Chris wakes up one morning with a hangover and a hard-on. Nothing unusual there. Until he discovers a grand in cash and a note from his mum saying she's gone away. So, like any not-so-average pill-popping 17 year old, Chris embarks on a bender to end all benders. But what do you do after you've thrown the mother of all parties and blown all the money? Well, you sell everything that isn't nailed down and go again, and just hope that everything else will start to make sense. Sometimes though, life can make a little more sense than you want it to and Chris has to face up to the fact his mum might never be coming home. Guest starring Sarah Lancashire, Charlie Creed Miles and Geoffrey Hughes.

Will Sid ever buckle down and focus on his future, will his dad ever give him a break, and will he ever wake up to Tony's manipulative ways?
