Somewhere Boy
Created by Pete Jackson
On Channel 4
A dark, psychologically intense study of childhood trauma and isolation, where a father's grief becomes a cage and the outside world becomes a source of existential dread.
Danny was a baby when his mother was killed in a car crash. Overcome with grief, his father locked him away in a house, telling him the outside world is full of monsters that will spirit him away like his mother.
