''Runaway'' is the story of a young boy, who takes to the streets to get away from the torment he suffers at school and daily problems at home. Life at home is rife with daily doses of scoldings from his half-drunk mother, and his two younger brothers Dean and Jack pay him scant attention until noticing he is missing. On his journey, Sean meets a girl named Molly, who takes him to a crumbling mill where her family lives. The series follows the police search for Sean, and how his disappearance affects his family.What's On – Runaway
