Hope Street

Lila knows the importance of sharing stories.

A trainee journalist in Derby, Lila finds herself increasingly underwhelmed by the trivial 'news' stories landing on her desk every week. Until she meets Connor.

Connor knows the importance of home.

Living alone on Hope Street, Connor is stubbornly refusing to allow a council development take over the place where he grew up. Four years ago, his mum popped out to see a friend and never came back. But Connor knows she will, if he just waits long enough...
