Synopsis

Top Boy is Ronan Bennett’s thrilling new four-part drama about young people living on the edge and, for the most part, out of sight in east London today.  On London’s Summerhouse Estate, lives are lived along lines, and challenges come in all forms, even – especially – for kids. In tonight’s second episode, Dushane (Ashley Walters) and his partner Sully (Kane Robinson) find themselves hugely in debt to Raikes (Geoff Bell) and – under increasing pressure to retrieve their stash from Kamale (Tayo Jarrett). Elsewhere, the terrifying consequences of Dushane’s ambitions begin to spill into the lives of his family. Lisa (Sharon Duncan-Brewster) is still in hospital but showing signs of improvement, she is allowed a day release, and pins all her hopes on a reunion with her son Ra’Nell (Malcolm Kamulete). Unbeknown both to her and Ra’Nell’s guardian angel Leon (Nicholas Pinnock), he has been recruited by Heather (Kierston Wareing) to help run her secret project.
