Former singing-sensation ANDREW THOMAS is hiding. Hiding from reality, hiding from performing, and hiding from himself.
Unaware of the real reason behind his wife, EMMA THOMAS’ suicide, ex rock-star Andrew Thomas has hidden in shame at his country home, following a confronting incident on a UK talk show. However when JUDITH HUBBARD (the manager of Emma’s Homeless shelter, ‘Sanctuary House‘) challenges him with his wife’s role, and mentoring a group of homeless teens, he reluctantly accepts.
With the rural shelter in disrepair, Judith hopes Andrew may have the PR power to bring about change. When he arrives in his pyjamas, she’s not so sure.
Initially struggling to connect with the teens, Andrew invites them to create a superhero anthem with him. The musical collaboration unlocks a bond within the group – spirited brothers ASH and JOEY; tender-hearted GENIE; and fearless leader, NATASHA.
Settling into his new role, Andrew finds himself drawn to SEBASTIAN WATERS – a handsome army medic also working at Sanctuary House. The perfect antidote to his cheeky-challenging exterior, Andrew hesitantly lets his guard down when their playful banter develops into something more.
Anxious about the teens’ futures, Andrew decides to investigate their pasts. However when he tracks down Natasha’s volatile mother (CAROL MEYERS) and pointedly criticises her parental neglect, she files a restraining order against him. Judith is then forced to suspend Andrew, and he is no longer allowed contact with the teens.
Separated from the shelter and unable to fully acknowledge his growing feelings for Sebastian, Andrew gets word that 14 year-old Ash is in deep water with local kingpin, DARREN.
With the teens in a position they are powerless to fight against, Andrew must make a decision:
Succumb to his internalised shame and, once again, hide away?
Or face that he has more in common with the teens than he ever realised, and risk it all to save his found family at Sanctuary House?
