Skins — Series 3
Get ready to meet a fresh generation navigating the turbulent world of sixth form. This series plunges into the intertwined lives of eight teenagers: Effy Stonem, the enigmatic Pandora Moon, the charming Thomas Tomone, James Cook, Freddie McClair, JJ Jones, Naomi Campbell, and the inseparable twin sisters, Emily and Katie Fitch. Prepare to witness their triumphs, heartbreaks, and everything in between as they face the challenges – and opportunities – of these pivotal years.
The first day of the academic year at Roundview College finds the orbits of best friends Freddie, JJ, and Cook unexpectedly intersecting with those of Effy.

JJ was adrift. Since Effy had intervened between his two closest companions, fracturing their bond and scattering his circle of friends, everything had fallen apart. Yet, Emily proved herself a steadfast friend in his time of trouble.
A certain spark had faded from Effy. The casual intimacy she shared with Cook no longer brought her satisfaction, and a growing sense of unease permeated the Stonem household.
The encounter in the woods had left Katie deeply ashamed, and she was reluctant to face the world. Fortunately, Emily was there to offer a lifeline.
Cook and Effy, adrift in a haze of oblivion, exist in a world of their own making. They cling to each other, lost in a shared intoxication that shuts out everything else.
