About this show
Sean is an ageing, downtrodden professional rugby player from Wales. When he meets world-famous US soccer star Sophie, they begin an unlikely romance. Can they survive the pressures that come with elite sport? Two Halves offers a window into their private lives as they try to enhance or preserve their own reputations, navigate the cut-throat world of social media, and balance personal ambition with home life expectations. Past secrets are revealed. Mistakes are made. Consequences are inevitable. Integrity, morality, resilience and love are all tested in this tense and explosive relationship drama.
