About this show

Halfway Home follows the rippling effects of addiction and confronting mistakes of a past life. Davie is just out of prison and cooped up with his policeman-hopeful brother, Freddie. Caught in the middle is Laura, an overworked nurse in an underfunded NHS, who finds herself at wits end with both of them. Perspectives collide on treatment and attitudes, in the backdrop of austerity-hit Scotland, providing a bold, relatable story of a broken family trying to mend themselves.
