Lindsey's Story

Episode image for Lindsey's Story

Episode 1 of 2

Duration: 1 hour

A contemporary teenage love story told in two parts. It's teenage love as it really is. Painful, yes, but also full of humanity, hope and desire. A positive, truthful and definitive representation of teenagers today.

Lindsey Macallum isn't like those teenagers that make the newspapers. She doesn't go out to all-night parties, she doesn't drink and she hasn't even come close to having a boyfriend. Lindsey is a 16-year-old 2012 Olympic diving hopeful and her life is dedicated to her sport. That is, until she meets the local bad boy Robert Wisley and they fall in love. Suddenly the training regime becomes difficult to maintain and everything she has worked for starts to slip away.

Sustaining the relationship and her Olympic dream feels impossible and she has a simple choice to make. When she finds out that she is also pregnant, the choice suddenly becomes more complicated.
