Gerry (Chris Beattie) and Sewell (Greg McLane) are broke - Gerry's still at school and his best mate Sewell is unemployed. They both wish for better things in life. Owning two season tickets to their beloved football club is their biggest dream of all. The ticket cost £1000 - they're £1000 short. But there nothing if not resourceful, and they set themselves a mission to raise the cash. While they think up increasingly outlandish money-making schemes - from selling household junk to shoplifting and the odd bit of housebreaking - real life begins to interfere - with the pair's final scam going hilariously awry and landing them in jail, only to discover in a sweet twist of irony that their punishment gets them exactly where they want to be.
