Boasting British stars Robert Carlyle, Ricky Tomlinson, Rhys Ifans, Kathy Bates and Shirley Henderson, this heart warming comedy from Director Shane Meadows (Twentyfourseven, A Room for Romeo Brass) is a journey to the Wild West of Nottingham.
Dek is a gentle giant with two passions in his life: his souped up Ford Sierra 'Baby' and his girlfriend Shirley. But while supporting her friend Carol on a TV chat show, Shirley is stunned when Dek walks on to propose live on air... and turns him down!
As Dek is left to contemplate his future with Shirley in Nottingham, Shirley's rogue ex-boyfriend has been watching in Glasgow and decides it's time to reclaim his woman. Heading south (swiftly followed by the gang he's just conned), Jimmy gets ready for an emotional and physical showdown with Dek and Shirley... little knowing that his daughter Marlene is also up for a fight!
