'Chloe and Hassan are under suspicion for stealing money while feeding the class Axolotl. Sent outside to work out who’s responsible, the unlikely pair find they have something in common. Each of them has been forced by their parents to leave their respective homes and face life as the new kid at school.
'As their personal histories are revealed, Chloe hears the incredible first-hand account of a 12-year-old boy who’s travelled alone, thousands of kilometres across land and sea, for a better life.
'Is the discovery of Hassan’s back story enough to save him from Chloe’s desire to protect her position in her new-found friendship group?'

'When wealthy property developer Michael Devine goes missing, his wife Anne and daughter Amy fear the worst.
As the pieces of Michael's disappearance start falling into place, the picture reveals a scandalous secret.
On the other side of town, Paula and Gary Anderson have an unwanted visitor. Regretting ever having let Ray Wimple creep into their lives, they're now stuck with his unwelcome and insistent attention.
When these two very different worlds collide, one fateful event will transform the lives of both families forever.
Inspired by true events, 'Dreams in White' is a gripping thriller of double lives and urban alienation. It marks the first writer/director collaboration to emerge from the Griffin Studio, uniting the muscular language of Duncan Graham ('Cut', 'Ollie and the Minotaur') with the dynamic direction of Tanya Goldberg ('Way To Heaven', 'The Story of Mary MacLane by Herself').
