Based on the true story of one woman’s extraordinary ambition to breed and raise a champion racehorse in her home village: Jan Vokes, a cleaner and barmaid, manages to persuade her neighbours and friends to invest in her crazy scheme and together they name the foal ‘Dream Alliance’. With little experience but a lot of heart, the collective of villagers rear Dream, and against all odds he rises through the ranks. Dream proves himself to be more than a match for the multi-million pound racehorses he comes up against - he’s a true people’s champion, taking on the establishment at their own game. But more than this, Dream begins to alter the lives of everyone in this small community, not least Jan’s. He is everything to her: friend, confidant and an escape from her everyday life.
A powerful story of triumph over adversity and a tale of how a woman strives to make her dream a reality, and unites her entire community.

Herb’s life is a mess. He can’t hold down a job, can’t talk to his son, has a neighbour who won’t shut up and a diet that consists mainly of cheap beer and mushy peas. It’s no way to live and he knows it.
Then he learns from a TV news report that Danish prisoners have it way better than he does: a job, easily accessible healthcare, the quiet of the countryside, even an HDTV. They’re practically living in hotels.
He says goodbye (and good riddance) to his dingy flat and smuggles himself to Denmark aboard a cargo ship, landing in a quaint town with everything he needs - including a bank to rob. But when he meets a friendly local barmaid and a lovable stray dog that won’t leave his side, he begins to wonder if prison really is his only chance of finding a fulfilling life.
