London. 2018. A bedsit. A young woman in trouble. A bridge. A missing teenager – and parents searching for answers. Struggling to cope with the disappearance of his teenage daughter, secondary school teacher Tom decides to book an escort (Leah) in an attempt to numb his pain. Little does he realise the impact this will have on both their lives and the lives of those closest to them.

With a cast of four including Abigail Hood (Royal Court), Adam Morris (Playhouse Theatre), Kevin Tomlinson (Royal and Derngate) and Tracey Wilkinson (National Theatre), this thrilling contemporary play explores lives in crisis and the need within the human spirit to cling to another person, no matter what the cost.
