How does Jamie cope with mum, Sharon, a true gangster's moll; brother Gary who alarmingly displays his bum cheek tattoo at the dinner table or Charleen's fake sister Chigwell, named after the place of her conception? And finally, ex-con dad, Terry, who's suspicious of everyone, but trusts Jamie enough to ask him to get rid of a gun for him.

Will Jamie crack under pressure, take the bait to try and impress Terry - or will the police get there first?
