Pecking up the pieces

THIS darkly comic drama follows three young siblings hiding a terrible secret, a goodhearted teacher, a stolen chicken and singer Jamelia as you've never seen her before.

- 

Set in Birmingham, it's a charming coming-of-age story.

It's fast and funny, while also dealing with big thorny issues like class, race, societal neglect, grief and sibling love. As it starts, we find out there's a big problem for Tiana, Tionne and Tanika.

"Mum's gone and she ain't coming back," says older sister Tiana (Chenee Taylor) as she realises that she's in charge now.
