Hello, my name is James and I'm an alcoholic - T.V Pilot (Rewrite)

When James, a down-and-out alcoholic still living with his fed-up parents, meets Vicky — a fellow lost soul with a dubious charm — at the job centre, their unlikely romance sends them from his parents’ couch to life in a tent. But as James clings to love as his last shot at redemption, he discovers that Vicky’s secrets may be even darker than his own.
