Episode 1
Tiana, Tionne and Tanika try to live life under the radar after their mum seemingly disappears, but when her drug dealer arrives demanding money, their secret risks being exposed.
A darkly comic drama about three stubbornly optimistic siblings with a terrible secret. When their mum seemingly goes missing, Tiana, Tionne and Tanika will do anything to keep it quiet so that they can stay together as a family. But feistily resilient and fiercely loyal as they are, can they really outwit the authorities and carry on life under the radar?
Tiana, the eldest, takes charge, determined to hold the household together until she turns 18 and can legally keep her siblings under one roof. But keeping their lives on track without a parent is a battle she is barely equipped for - especially as the lies pile up, the bills go unpaid and the world around them starts closing in.
Things get complicated when Tiana is forced to allow her mum’s hapless drug dealer - Dr Feelgood – to move in with them after he realises that they are home alone. It’s an unholy union. Feelgood might be able to bring money and even a sense of security into their little flat, but he is unpredictable and chaotic, and Tionne holds him responsible for their mother’s disappearance. Furious at Tiana for letting the 'enemy' into their home, Tionne becomes hellbent on getting rid of Feelgood for ever.
