Scared, hungry and withdrawn, Jamey has spent so much time in his cot that his leg muscles haven't developed, and he can barely walk. He is craving affection, and Cathy and her family find him very easy to love. However, as Jamey begins to settle in and make progress a new threat emerges. Coronavirus and lockdown changes everything.
