Phil and Sheila are a married couple, who are comfortable with each other, but argue a lot with each other. They have been together for many years, and had a child at the age of 20. The relationship has fallen apart in recent years, and Phil has looked elsewhere for love. Their son, Junior, who is gay, doesn't spend too much time with his parents, as he is totally sick with the arguing. He spends a lot of time with Brandii-Mae Brown, a fellow college student with Junior, who is a doing GCSE's at college. Phil has an affair with Brandii-Mae, who is many years his junior.

Brandii-Mae is a 18 year old Liverpudlian girl, who is from a very disjointed family. She never knew her father, and her mother was very rarely around. Because of this, she spend most of her teenage life involved in gang culture. At the age of 15, she ran away with a 27 year old man to London. He told her that he could give her a modelling contract, but after a time of living with him, it became clear that he was simply using her for his own sexual desire. Not only was he a sexual predator, he also dealt in Class A drugs. After a drugs raid on his property, he is arrested, and Brandii-Mae is taken into the police station for care, where she is looked after by Phil Townsend, a counsellor. Phil is married to Sheila, who owns and runs a pub, The Town's End. Their marriage is broken, but they stay together for the sake of their son, Junior. He establishes a rapport with Brandii- Mae, who spills her heart to Phil. She sees him as a father figure, something she has never had before, and falls helplessly in love with him. Because his marriage is in total disarray, Phil finds it easy to fall for Brandii-Mae. Regular counselling sessions mean that they can meet in complete privacy. And after a time, the sessions became less about Brandii talking about her feeling, but they start to develop a sexual relationship. Because of her bad experiences and lack of formal education, Phil manages to get Brandii into college to study for English and Maths GCSE. While she is studying, she meets Junior, and strikes up a friendship - not because she likes him, but she sees him as a way to spend more time with Phil. Junior takes Brandii home to meet his parents, and Phil is shocked to see her. He takes her to the side to ask her why she is really here. Even though he is trying to be serious, she is being extremely flirty. He tries to stand off to her, but realises that he is not going to win, and actually wants Brandii. As days go by, she sees more of Phil, and becomes more flirty. Phil and Brandii start to see each other at every opportunity - when Brandii has a break at college, and Sheila has gone out, he would pick her up and bring her to the pub.
