Based on interviews conducted by PLC students with teachers, parents and their fellow students, Cyberbile is a verbatim-based drama about children's relationships to the online community and the bullying that modern technology can unleash. In Grounded we meet Farrah, a young Novocastrian with a fascination for Newcastle's industrial port, a fascination none of her peers share or comprehend. When a storm grounds a ship, the Pasha Bulker, and the world's attention turns to the harbour she knows so well, the impact on Farrah's own reality is not what she expects.
