Stumbling across a food stall giving out free hot meals, a broke and hungry Tim thinks he thinks he's hit the absolute jackpot. That is until he realises he's actually at the front of a queue for a refugee food bank.
Faced with a moral dilemma, Tim as ever takes the path of least resistance and does his best to go under the radar - but after he's spotted by enthusiastic charity worker Benedict, who's intrigued by this severely disabled refugees' 'story', Tim finds himself embroiled in a lie that snowballs completely out of control.
