There's a hole in the church accounts and the Archdeacon's ready to pounce. Salvation appears to come in the form of a wealthy city banker (Richard E Grant) who arrives at St Saviour's to join Alcoholics Anonymous.

However, Adam's mind isn't on balancing the books - serial blagger Mick has arrived on the vicarage doorstep with a much bigger ask than the usual £20, and Adam takes a huge risk.
