From Olympic glory to addiction, crime and prison, Deep End: The Scott Miller Story is a raw and deeply human documentary about ambition, addiction, the consequences of our choices - and ultimately the possibility of starting again.

Scott Miller seemed to have it all. A gifted swimmer who rose from a promising childhood to the pinnacle of elite sport, he became an Olympic silver medallist and one of Australia’s most recognisable young athletes. But behind the medals and media attention, mounting pressure and personal struggles were beginning to take their toll.

When tragedy strikes and his sporting career comes to an abrupt end, Miller’s life begins to unravel. Addiction takes hold, leading him into crime and eventually prison. The fall is as dramatic as his rise – and forces him to confront the choices he made, the people he hurt and the life he had lost.

Eventually clean and reunited with his family, Miller confronts a new set of challenges - rebuilding trust, taking responsibility for his past and finding a sense of purpose beyond the identity he once had as an elite athlete.

Telling his story with unprecedented candour, Miller looks back on the journey from sporting hero to rock bottom, and the difficult road towards recovery and redemption.

At the heart of Deep End is a universal question: how do you rebuild a life when everything you once defined yourself by is gone?

Combining intimate testimony, archival material and a remarkable personal journey, the series explores the pressures of success, the devastating impact of addiction and the enduring power of family, resilience and second chances.

A powerful story of rise, fall and redemption, Deep End: The Scott Miller Story is ultimately about what it takes to find your way back.
