Gifted

Gifted follows Maxine and Sharon, two students celebrating the end of their exams. When they meet top-flight footballer Jamie Gilliam in the VIP room of a local nightclub, the consequences of that fateful night are explosive, with Sharon accusing him of rape. The football club – on the brink of moving into the Premiership – can’t afford any more negative press with the play off final around the corner.

Following intense scrutiny from the newspapers and a strong denial of wrongdoing from Jamie, Sharon eventually drops the case. Initially staggered by the accusation against her idol, it’s up to Maxine to take a deeper look into what happened. Feeling she’s been left in a compromising position, she decides to confide in her barrister auntie Linda.
