A warm, character-driven comedy about four working-class men finding friendship and purpose through a whiskey heist, grounded in Scottish community and redemption.

Robbie is a Glasgow boy locked in a family feud who just wants a way out. On community service, he meets Rhino, Albert and Mo. Little did Robbie imagine that turning to drink might change their lives, leading them to the distilleries of the Scottish Highlands and the biggest gamble of his life.
