The Old Oak pub is hanging by a thread. Itâs one thing to be forgotten and abandoned, but quite another to be dumped on. When one day a bus arrives with refugee families from Syria, pub landlord TJ and refugee Yara find issues in common. Can they use The Old Oak so that Syrians and locals can eat together? Will fear, desperation and hatred take over, or could the Syrians and locals come together in mutual support?
