A quirky Australian comedy about an unlikely friendship between a shy mechanical genius and an ex-con, built on charm, ingenuity, and schemes rather than darkness.

Malcolm is a chronically shy mechanical genius, who has just been fired for building his own tram. He gets Frank, who has just been released from jail, to move in to help pay the bills. With Frank's help, Malcolm turns to a life of crime.
