In a dead-end town in the East of England Jayce, a young man, is released from prison after serving time for a crime he didn't commit. Looking for answers, Jayce returns home only to become embroiled in a scheme to sell a large amount of cannabis grown in a garden shed by Kev, the elderly neighbour of his childhood friend, Paula.<br /> The young people form an unlikely alliance with the old man and manage to sell the weed to a disarmingly-friendly dealer. But this attracts the attention of two local dimwit hoodlums who notice a dent in their trade and immediately suspect the odd thruple.<br /> Jayce finally learns the truth about his incarceration: he was framed by his ex-best friend and leader of the local dimwits, Lee. Jayce, Paula and Kev are kidnapped by the two hoodlums hoping to usurp Lee's position. Lee, meanwhile, is disinherited by his father and switches allegiance to rescue the trio, seeking (and gaining) redemption for his framing of Jayce.<br /> Looking for a new start, Jayce leaves town on his dream motorbike – purchased with the money from the weed deal. He leaves behind him a new 'family' in the shape of Paula, Kev and Lee.
