Hollow Reed
Neville Bolt story
Oliver Wyatt Sam Bould lives with his mother Hannah Wyatt Joely Richardson and her livein boyfriend Frank Donally Jason Flemyng and spends occasional afternoons with his father Martyn Wyatt Martin Donovan. After Oliver suffers a series of mysterious physical injuries, which he vaguely blames on neighbourhood bullies, suspicions are raised by his father, a GP, against Hannahs boyfriend, Frank.While Martyn becomes firmly convinced Frank is abusing his son, Oliver keeps silent about the true source of his injuries, and Hannah refuses to believe Frank could be abusing her son. Martyn begins court proceedings to gain sole custody of Oliver, though his gay relationship with Tom Dixon Ian Hart is brought as evidence by Hannahs lawyer of the unsuitability of Martyns home. Only after she catches Frank abusing Oliver does Hannah accept that her boyfriend is the source of Olivers injuries, though she is swayed by Franks pleas and agrees to remain quiet about the issue and promises Oliver that the abuse will end. ........
