Sharp, pacey and acutely observed, this new drama follows the complicated lives of a group of disconnected teenagers from very different backgrounds who are thrown together after the suicide of a mutual friend, Jenny Summers. This life-changing experience bonds them all and forces them to examine who they really are.

The teenagers are: Sophie, who dropped Jenny when she got in with the in-crowd; Anthony, the kid from the wrong side of the tracks who called the ambulance that fateful night; Ben, Jenny's ex who cheated on her, twice; Emily, who was too busy partying to bother with Jenny and her moods; Paula, the mysterious beauty with something to hide; and Josh, a geek who has his own personal tragedy to deal with.

A stylish and aspirational exploration of what it's like to be a teenager in 21st century Britain, Dis/Connected is a drama in which lives connect and unique friendships form.

It's written by Howard Overman (Hotel Babylon), and features a host of new and upcoming talent both on and off screen including Aml Ameen (Kidulthood) as Anthony. It is directed by Tom Harper, winner of the BBC Three New Filmmaker Award 2006.
