After a recent break-up, Alma tries to get her life back on track. But with no job, no qualifications, and a rebellious streak a mile wide, it's not going to be easy. Family life's not ideal either as Alma's heroin addicted mum has been sectioned for arson and her vampish Grandma Joan wants nothing to do with it.
Notes
This episode is substantially the same as the pilot, with some minor changes.
