It’s summer vacation and Lea is bored – her mother is distracted with a host of suitors and hanging out with her immature friends has lost its appeal. So, when she meets Tom during an eventful night at a diner, he might just be the change Lea is searching for. But there’s a caveat: Tom is 34 while Lea is 17. Dack shows Tom and Lea’s relationship in stark reality, so that while an audience can immediately see all of its red flags, it’s easy to empathise as Lea is seduced and manipulated by Tom.

Made with extraordinary sensitivity by an all-female creative team, Palm Trees and Power Lines is an unflinching look at grooming and coercion that succeeds in exploring but never exploiting its tricky subject matter.
