Further details

Andy stumbles into a drug-fuelled whirlwind romance with singer Jasmine, and suddenly finds himself engaged.

Errol let's a girl think he's 'experienced' in an attempt to look cool, and Sam has to find a way of telling the family some life-changing news.

Unfortunately, Bruce's mother and brother are coming to visit and everyone is struggling to decide whether to clear the air or hold on to their secrets.

It isn't long before the lies spin out of control and Andy has to face up to some hard truths for the first time in his life.
