After eight years of hiding away and playing it safe since losing his long-term girlfriend and narrowly missing out on a glittering music career, Richard Johnson is ready to live life again. This was due to him finding someone special in his life, Shauna. Now financially stable due to his talent for betting on the horses, he is determined to become an ideal partner to Shauna and a good surrogate father to her son, Joe. However, since being out of his comfort zone, Richard can’t seem to do anything right, leading to hilarious but awkward situations. When Shauna breaks up with Richard, his attempt to exact revenge in a cruel manner backfires and leaves him massively in debt to Miles Xander, a powerful local gangster.
