Broke is a gritty crime drama set on the streets of Manchester. Amy (Laura McMonagle, To Be Someone, Lip Service) and Mark (Alexander Vlahos, Versailles, Merlin) marry young, seemingly the wedding of her dreams, but actually the start of a nightmare. Even at his reception with pregnant Amy about to give birth, Mark is cheating with Ginger Jenny (Olivia Brady, Top Boy, Grantchester) in the alley behind the hall. Fast forward five years and with two kids, the couple struggle daily to keep their head above water. A secret gambler, Mark loses his wages regularly on the horses and finally ends up desperate to find cash to pay the bills. Unable to tap up his mates any more, he ends up going to a loan shark. But if he thinks Lenny Yates (Gary Shail, Quadrophenia, To Be Somebody) will give him a break when it comes to repayments, he's badly mistaken. Lenny will make him pay - and worse, he'll make Amy pay using the darkest methods possible...
Also featuring Joe Gill (Emmerdale), Don Gilet (The Stranger, Holby, Eastenders), Leslie Ash (To Be Someone, Men Behaving Badly, Quadrophenia), Nicola Stephenson (Emmerdale, The Worst Witch), Amelia Bath (To Be Someone), Lainey Shaw (My Day, Speed Date) and Levon Gharibian and narrated by Brian Capron (Coronation Street, Where the Heart Is)
