Synopsis
Welcome to the suburbs, to a nondescript estate teeming with characters from all walks of life. Our main trio, Spuds, Baz, and Jay - friends since they were kids - head out on a night out to help the emotionally vulnerable Spuds get back into the game. We say game... It's pretty much non-existent for this hopeless ensemble. Until Spuds finally finds love. But it comes at one hell of a cost.
He meets Dr. Billie Sutton, the daughter of a two-bit con man and wannabe gangster Frankie Sutton. In a push to find her independence, she embarks on the journey of righting her wrongs. She leaves the estate, becomes a qualified doctor, and returns, promising to stay on the right track. That is until she meets Spuds. She gives Spuds a terrible diagnosis on their encounter, only to find that this will tie these two together through thick and thin, no matter the costs. Bringing Baz and Jay along for the ride.
The season follows their journey, including the colorful characters of their estate and world. Can the power of love and friendship keep the group together in the face of cancer? This heartwarming, quirky British comedy and love story with sobering moments of reality.
