Plot
Born and bred in London's East End, Cathy Connor and Eamonn Docherty share a bond forged by shared hardships and youthful dreams. Cathy, the daughter of a prostitute named Madge, fights against the preconceived notion of following in her mother's tragic path. However, a brutal assault on Madge forces Cathy into a violent whirlwind of protection and consequences that dramatically alters her life's course. Institutional abuse within the care system compels Cathy to escape, finding herself alone and destitute in the gritty underbelly of Soho.
In this grim world, an unexpected guardian angel appears in the form of Desrae, a compassionate transvestite who takes Cathy under her wing. Simultaneously, Eamonn ascends the criminal hierarchy of the East End, aligning himself with Dixon's notorious firm. His dangerous liaison with Dixson's daughter leads to a murderous act in a fit of uncontrolled fury, forcing Eamonn to flee to the sprawling metropolis of New York. Here, he carves out a fearsome reputation as a cold-hearted villain with an uncanny knack for procuring weaponry.
"The Runaway" is a riveting TV show adapted from Martina Cole's acclaimed novel, weaving a tale of two star-crossed lovers against the backdrop of a thrilling, action-packed underworld saga.
