Starring: Olivia Hallinan, Lenora Crichlow, Sara Stewart, Richard Lumsden, Kurtis O'Brien, Sarah-Jane Potts

Exploding back onto the Out in Africa screens in this second riotous series of Sugar Rush, Kim (Hallinan) is 17, out and still juggling her disturbingly dysfunctional family with her lust for the dazzling, lippy Sugar and any other gloriously available girl that comes along.

With her hot pursuit of Sugar (currently incarcerated in a Young Offender’s institution) on hold, Kim spends the majority of her time in her bedroom avoiding her parent’s sex therapy sessions and dreaming of living life to the full in Brighton, the UK’s bohemian gay capital. Then Kim’s head is turned by a chance meeting with gorgeous sex-shop worker, Saint (Potts), who moonlights as a DJ at the hot CC, a mysterious club bristling with beautiful women. Suddenly Kim is living her dreams, but when it comes to the crunch with Saint, insecurity leads Kim to pursue an eye-opening fling with the dangerously addictive Anna, avoid the attentions of class-swot Melissa and confess all to the soon-to-be-released Sugar.
