The complete first and second series of the thriller following a group of 40-something men who inadvertently become involved in crime. In the first series, Baxter (John Simm), Rick (Marc Warren), Woody (Max Beesley) and Quinn (Philip Glenister) go on holiday to Majorca where they meet their wealthy friend, Alvo (Ben Chaplin), who has gone into early retirement. It soon becomes clear that Alvo is mentally unstable and, when he steals a boat, the situation gets quickly out of hand.
