01 / THE STORY
The film is narrated by Frankie (Dyer), a young everyman living in SE postcode area during the Margaret Thatcher of the 1980s, with little hope of ever making anything of himself, yet he dreams of ''"being somebody"'' and escaping his lonely, dreary lifestyle. After severely beating his mother's Physical abuse boyfriend, he becomes a fugitive, and through family connections escapes to the Costa Del Sol. His job there is to deliver a bag containing money to ''"Playboy Charlie"'' (Hassan), an ex-pat and criminal-on-the-run, a suave and dapper man who is very successful in Spain and runs his own nightclub and drugs business and lives a life of luxury. Impressed by Frankie's honesty in not opening the bag, Charlie takes a liking to Frankie, introduces him to his business associates, including the psychopathic Sammy (Bell), and invites him to remain in Spain and work as his Chauffeur.
