Skins

Cassie

Cassie's family and friends are too wrapped up in their own worlds to notice that she's not eating - but there is someone who cares.

Jal

How can Jal come within an ace of winning the Young Musician of the Year competition in the face of total indifference of all those around her?

Chris

Happy-go-lucky party animal Chris wakes up one morning to find his mum's gone away for a few days and left him a grand. But what do you do after you've thrown a party to end all parties and blown all the money?

Sid

Sid's in trouble. Deep trouble. His coursework hasn't made the grade, he's grounded, and as sexually frustrated as ever. Will Sid buckle down and focus on his future or will he continue to be hypnotized by his best friend's girlfriend?

Maxxie and Anwar

What happens when two friends suddenly run up against the limits of their friendship? Maxxie and Anwar are about to find out.

Michelle

Time's up for Tony. His girlfriend Michelle just isn't going to take it anymore. Nor is she going to take her mum's latest husband Malcolm; toy boy, business failure and serial idiot to boot.

Effy

Has nobody noticed that Effy, Tony's little sister, never utters a word? Has nobody ever noticed that she sneaks out at night? Tony has. And Tony doesn't care about anybody or anything - except his little sister.

Everyone

It's taken quite a lot of time and effort for everyone to fall out with each other. But they've worked at it and they certainly aren't in the mood for apologies. Anwar's crazy birthday party offers a chance for scores to be settled.
