“When his home life is revealed at school, Otis realizes that he can use his specialist knowledge to gain status.”

“He teams up with Maeve, a whip-smart bad-girl, and together they set up an underground gender care clinic to deal with their fellow students’ odd and superb problems.”

“Through his analysis of teenage sexuality, Otis realizes he may need some care of his own.”

Asa Butterfield( Merlin) will take on the role played by Otis Milburn, while Gillian Anderson( The X-Files) will toy his fornication healer father, Jean.
