The next national scandal unfolds………A story based on true events. It is a story of love, heartache, deceit, and despair.

It is a story of the everyday lives endured by a hidden proportion of society. A world they did not ask to be part of and would not necessarily ever choose again.

Events unravel when the system closes around the bewildered family. The cosseted, middle-class family life they had enjoyed and loved was taken away abruptly.

The only life they knew starts to implode with devastating effects. The perfect family unit is turned upside down; this was not the script.

Life was mapped out like previous generations: paid education, wealth, and privilege. This privileged life had allowed them to build a beautiful family, stunning home, and high net worth social circle in sunny Nottingham.

The flawless family is set to add the final piece of the jigsaw with the birth of the twins. Life is good, and this will square the circle.

An evening of anticipated joy tragically turns into a night of disasters and incompetence. Avoidable mistakes and lack of leadership at birth change a family’s life forever.

The full extent of the injuries is unknown. A night of delight turns darker and darker as events unfold.

Ben and Lou watch their twins fight for survival against the odds. The Kafkaesque health authority immediately and sinisterly closed ranks on the events of that night.

They are led by their commander and chief manipulator, who knows the drill! Ben and Lou want answers; it didn’t feel like a natural event. They were high risk; why was the plan not delivered?Letters start dropping through the door daily from the various pillars of authority, health, social care, and education.

The authority is a slick anti-support machine controlled by budgets and finance, not love and compassion. The authority is complex and complicated and is there for everything but the end users.

Abuse of process, endless box-ticking and ‘you don’t fit the criteria’ rigidly formatted forms and very complex characters result in feelings of absolute despair. Health, education, and social care are moving in different directions, and the family is left to understand their daily battles.

The lonely battle is just beginning. The story looks at Ben, the forgotten dad, the special needs dad, struggling with the circumstances they find themselves in.

He struggles to connect as a dad to his new circumstances. He slowly starts to close emotionally and goes off the rails.

Not being able to understand his feelings of despair, desperately struggling emotionally to hold it all together, he goes completely off-piste. Spiralling to understand his future, he loses touch with himself, committing the ultimate sin.

Lou is a mum, wife, and woman who finds a deep inner strength she didn’t realise she had. Whilst being the main carer 24/7, she desperately tried to hold it all together, fighting her emotions, the system, and the world, it seems.

Stoic and resilient refuses to give in. Lou is unconditionally there for her family, but life events result in some things and some people being cut adrift.

Lou must dig deep as life unravels around her. Over time, she leads the family through the battles they encounter.

Alone and fighting with the quicksand softening around her with no safety rope. This isn’t just a medical negligence or special needs family story.

It’s a story of resilience against the odds, but you cannot be there 24/7 forever. This story is based on real-life events and demonstrates sliding doors moments that change lives daily.
