A tense and disturbing, but well-written radio drama about every parents' worst nightmare. Set in the North East of England, the story begins with a young girl called Lena, who is sat playing outside on the stairs, whilst her parents are drinking in the bar inside. A man stops to talk to her, and although she's initially wary, being the innocent little girl that she is, the man manages to win her over, feigning friendship. A short while later, one of the men from the bar goes to take Lena a glass of lemonade, but he re-enters the bar with the glass of lemonade still in his hand. Lena is gone.
