Wyatt Reid lives in a run-down duplex with a mother who he sees as nothing more than an occasional sticky note on the fridge. When he's not trying to scrounge up scraps of food from the lady at the convenience store down the street, the lady who has a new name each week, he tries to stay off the radar of the malevolent school bully, Cyrus. The summer before Wyatt is set to start high school, he's coerced by Cyrus to break into a house. While Cyrus makes off with an expensive triathlon bike, Wyatt's left taking the fall for everything. He gets busted by the bikes owner, an obsessed elite triathlete named Cole. Cole's roommate, a trust-fundee named Kevin, takes pity on Wyatt after he's released from juvenile hall. Despite Cole's objections, Kevin gives Wyatt a chance to right the situation by letting him work off his debt by doing housework. As Wyatt works, he builds a rapport with Cole and begins training on his own to escape the negative realities of his own life. He will have to go toe-to-toe with Cyrus to defend his best friend with Down's Syndrome, Rudy, and his boyfriend, Riley.

A collection of six BBC dramatisations of Jane Austen classics. Adapted by Andrew Davies after his success with his work on George Elliot's 'Middlemarch' for television, 'Pride and Prejudice' was the BBC's flagship drama in the schedule for autumn 1995. The story revolves around the arrival of the wealthy Mr Darcy (Colin Firth) and party and the excitement he causes amongst the five daughters of the Bennett family. In 'Persuasion' (1995), Anne Elliott (Amanda Root) has spent years regretting her rejection of Captain Wentworth's (Ciaran Hinds) proposal of marriage. When he returns from sea they meet, but instead of finding romance are kept apart through a series of misunderstandings. Anne is being pursued by her cousin, Mr Elliott (Samuel West), while Captain Wentworth is now regarded as a very eligible bachelor. 'Northanger Abbey' (1986) stars Peter Firth and Robert Hardy. The story follows the adventures of Catherine Moorland (Katharine Schlesinger), who is invited by the romantic Henry Tilney to stay at the Abbey - and finds it to be shrouded in mystery and intrigue. In 'Sense and Sensibility' (1980), sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood (Irene Richard and Tracey Childs) lose their family fortune to spiteful relatives, and are forced to seek out suitable husbands in order to survive. While Marianne falls for the heartless John Willoughby (Peter Woodward), Elinor finds herself attracted to Edward Ferrars (Bosco Hogan) - who is himself betrothed to Lucy Steele (Julia Chambers). In 'Mansfield Park' (1983), Fanny Price (Sylvestra Le Touzel) struggles to adjust to her new aristrocratic lifestyle when she is sent by her debt-ridden mother to live with her rich aunt and cousins. Her 'superior' relatives constantly ignore her, and only her cousin Edmund (Nicholas Farrell) shows Fanny any interest. However, Fanny's charm and wit eventually win her many potential suitors, and before long she has to decide whether she wishes to wed for love or for status. Doran Godwin stars in 'Emma' (1972), which tells the stroy of the eponymous heroine whose chief joy in life is organising the lives of the friends with whom she surrounds herself. She is soon the apple of Mr Knightly (John Carson)'s eye, an older family friend who has watched her grow and advised her on many things in life.
