Hard Tide is a 2015 British crime drama written and directed by Robert Osman and Nathanael Wiseman.

It stars Wiseman as a small-time drug dealer who takes care of an orphaned girl, played by Alexandra Newick, after her father dies in an accident.

Although Jake is reluctant to get involved, his friend and roommate Alfie ambitiously plans to expand their empire.

While walking home after a drug deal, Jake finds Jade, a young girl, playing alone on a roof.

Panicking, Jake hides her father's death from Jade and takes her back to his apartment, where he puts her to bed.

In the morning, Alfie is furious to find that Jake has taken in Jade and insists she leave immediately, fearing she could bring interest from social services.

When they arrive at the hospital, Jake insists on confronting Flowers alone, though he agrees Mary and Kim can call the police if he does not return in ten minutes.

After Flowers' father commits suicide, the cops arrive and arrest Jake amid Jade's protests.

Under its original title My Hero, Hard Tide premiered at the Raindance Film Festival on 25 September 2015.

[8] Leslie Felperin of The Guardian rated it 3/5 stars and said "Naturalistic performances and a sense of place are the film’s strongest suit, along with a brisk approach to storytelling".
