Episode 1 of 6

Philosophy teacher Dan’s first day working in prison hits harder than expected – awakening something paternal and revealing he has underestimated both his students and his past.

It is Dan’s first day teaching philosophy in a men’s prison. The lesson soon unravels as he realises he has underestimated his audience – and the weight of his own past. Fixating on small details, Dan loses control of the class, risks his chance of becoming a father and breaks an important promise to Jess. When a familiar face resurfaces, Dan is forced to confront someone he thought he had left behind.
