Terry has a lot to lose. A good job, a gorgeous wife, Becca, and a 19-year-old daughter, with a baby of her own. But when he is plunged into financial crisis by his brother Jonny, he urgently needs to find a large sum of money to avoid ruin.
One of Terry’s drinking buddies, who owns the local tattoo shop, drunkenly reminisces about his youth on the dog-fight scene in Glasgow. Equipped with only his wits, the most unpleasant associates, and a family who are a fast-moving comic calamity, Terry attempts to steal a number of fighting dogs from a police compound, where they are waiting to be destroyed: training them, and ultimately taking them out on the seamy dog-fight circuit with disastrous consequences.
Meanwhile, Terry’s alternative sister, Tasmin, discovers that her Tunisian holiday husband has secretly been sending her savings back home to his family, and Mercedes, Terry’s daughter, having had her pole-dancing accident go viral on YouTube, seeks to pursue exotic-dancing fame and fortune with her perma-tanned chums - down the local pub.
Set in the exotic locations of Peckham, Newcastle and Milton Keynes these are worlds that really exist in the shadows.
