This Might Not Be It

You care a lot, thats nice. It shows your age.

Jays new. Hes just started as a temp in NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. He arrives with little more than a fledgling desk plant and well-meaning plans to change the broken system. Angelas been working here for over thirty years and nothing seems to faze her – except Jay.

Exhausted and worn down by archaic protocol, Jay starts bending the rules in a desperate attempt to help their patients. But when professional boundaries are crossed and trust is shattered, he discovers the harsh reality of whats truly at stake.
