Shot mainly in South East London, it’s about Micky Mason, a skilled manual worker who, since the Crash, can find nothing but menial zero hours jobs. He takes a course of action that is completely out of character, but it’s the only way he can see of keeping his family together. It is about surviving, but it’s not all anguish and despair - it’s also warm and tender, and funny. It's about people finding their way through. It’s about Micky Mason; a man out there, right now, doing his best.
Ten years ago Shaun Smith was an enforcer for one of the biggest crime families in Liverpool, introducing urban terrorism to the British underworld. He sprayed up houses with machine guns, tortured people and used homemade napalm to firebomb his enemies. After spending 5 years in prison for firearm offences, he's trying to transfer those skills to the legal economy by working as a debt collector across northern England.
