How difficult is it to have a family member convicted of sexual assault on a minor and sent to prison?  Especially if you cannot be sure as to his innocence or guilt?  This is the situation Leigh (Lisa Dwan) nurse and mother to teenager Nicholas (Jem Matthews) finds herself in. Her husband Tom (David Sturzaker) is maintaining his innocence and his wife Leigh has stood by him. 

He has come out of prison but everything has changed.  He has lost his teaching job, lost his income and money is much tighter than it was.  Especially after all those legal bills. But what has also changed is how his neighbours view Tom and his family.  In a way the doubt is worse than any certainty.  The immediacy of the problem is in the impact on Nicholas having to cope with his father’s reputation at a vulnerable point in his life with fingers pointing at the son of a convicted paedophile.
