A Coen-esque black comedy set amidst the underbelly of the mini-cab demi-world in London. We follow a group of four drivers who inhabit a gritty cab office as they attempt to deal with a decline in business. We have Remi, who has been kicked out of his home by his wife and sleeps in his car boot at night. Danny, who prefers to engage his fists to settle disputes rather than his brainpower. Cola, who is tanked up with enough medication to kill a horse and Abdul, who sells anything from pirate DVD's to fetish wear from the back of his car. The minicab owner (Nikos) spends his time scuttling around in his dressing gown and slippers, fermenting his 'New Deal' strategy to turn around his economic fortune. Following an unscheduled visit from the local loan shark, he gives his four drivers an ultimatum. The two who bring the most money back to the office, keep their jobs. The other two can join the unemployment scrap-heap. Simple. This sets off a chain of events that stretches their characters, and ensures that the office will never be the same again.

Unfortunately, it transpired that the company manufacturing the Speed Brogues were also illegally importing Nigerian Fighting Kittens, (hidden in crates of shoe leather) into this country. When the news broke Barney found himself unable to sell his Speed Brogues and as such had to find another way to repay the money that he had borrowed fom Beryl. After sometime he encountered an African national named Godfrey Breslaw who offered to share a fortune in gold doubloons with him, (which unbeknownst to Barney had been stolen from his girlfriend Athena's father several years earlier) if he helped to reclaim them. Unfortunately, when Barney went to pay off his debts Beryl smelt a rat and decided to tie Athena to a train track until Barney told her how he got the money and if there was anymore where it came from - And then things really started to get complicated.
