Stan By Me. Episode 5
When Stan learns his dad is coming to Auckland, he knows it can only mean one thing – he’s gonna get shifted on. After four years of being passed around between aunties, Stan’s sure he’ll be sent back to Lower Hutt …so he decides to live on the streets! The boys don’t think Stan will survive by himself, so they leave their cozy family Christmas Eves to run away with their pal. But the big bad city holds dangers and threats, including thieving street kids, a dodgy pimp, rat-infested accommodation, and possibly even a dead body! Life on the streets is not a walk in the park - and as the boys start to miss the safety of the suburbs, Stan’s left to find out what his future really holds.
