South London crook Simon 'Sunshine' Wilson (Tom Davis) is a big fish in a small pond.

Sunshine means well and tries to be as 'legitimate' as possible for his wife Kelly (Eleanor Lawrence) and their two daughters, but news that old pal, Mad Mickey Quinn (Sean Pertwee) has escaped from a prison van, is quite the surprise.

Also involved is DI Tommy Cockburn (Brendan Coyle) - the man who originally sent Mad Mickey to jail.

Notes
