Valero shouted and pointed to the Police Station.'For goodness sake Sergeant a policeman is in that ambulance dead. Get to the CID room find out properly what the boy saw.'Valero turned to his boss.'I had a chat with him before he went off his shift. He was fine and looking forward to changes around here, it's bad sir, very bad.''I know Valero look over there at those coppers they are stunned as well at what has happened.''Yes sir but maybe it's the ones not here that we should note, the ones still behind a desk or round the corner having a fag.''Hold on Valero we know we've got some problems here but surely not a murderer.''You got here quickly sir ?'

Recession has hit hard for everyone in 2008 and it's no different for married ladies' man, Vince Lavender and his ex-footballer friend, Luke Devine. So the opportunity to make quick cash with a bit of small-time robbery is something the men can't turn down and Vince's younger brother Mark is also involved in the scheme. But things don't quite go as planned for the trio, especially the unfortunate Mark: they are soon caught up in a tangled web of deceit, murder, debt and dodgy property deals in both the UK and Spain. To add to the confusion the boy's father Gerry Lavender goes missing and local hard man Ronnie Smith is looking for revenge for the robbery in one of his shops.
