Her Quiet Run
Updated at Dec 5, 2025, 10:18
Seventeen-year-old Malisa Okafor has learned to survive the quiet: a mother who isn’t there, a father who’s only present when the bottle isn’t, and a life in Nottingham that feels heavier every year. Music is her escape, her friends are her shield, and Keon Marshall --- the boy who loves her too softly --- is the only part of her world that feels steady. But Malisa is hiding cracks she refuses to look at… And Keon is hiding a past that’s about to break into the present. When secrets start slipping through the cracks ---at home, at college, and inside herself --- Malisa is forced to face the truth she’s been running from: You can only outrun your ruin for so long before it catches up. A gritty, emotional UK drama about love, survival, and the weight of growing up before you're ready.
