Episode 2. Karishma's Story.
It is 2018. Talented cricketer Karishma has made it into the county youth squad. But it's not so simple, as she's not actually getting picked for the team. She questions why - is she not good enough? Or is it it something to do with who she is? But there are other compensations, not least that she may have discovered her true sexual identity.
