Storyline
August Henderson is a pleasant, endearing, and funny character who enjoys nothing more than a friendly conversation. He strikes a balance between spending time with his three lovely children, his beloved fiancée, and the upkeep of his jointly-owned fruit and vegetable shop. He has created a life for himself since arriving in West Bromwich, something which fills him with pride. August needs to take immediate action when a political scandal threatens to ruin his idealistic existence. But he is deprived of his legal rights after being wrongfully jailed and threatened with deportation to a nation he can't even remember. However, he isn't about to give up without a fight.
