In episode two of this real life soap opera set in Redcar, North Yorkshire, we catch up with 19-year-old James, who is being mentored by local businessman Ray to help keep him out of trouble. When Ray discovers James has been arrested for a crime he is adamant he didn't commit and could ruin his chances of starting a new life, everyone is hoping James gets the verdict he needs. He has worked so hard to try to turn his life around and be a role model to his younger siblings, and Ray has organised a job interview for him. However, a conviction would mean the company can't give James a full time job.
