Four life-long friends in their seventies who are discontented with their lives, and are fed up with being broke whilst watching their lives slip away, decide on a life of crime in order to give themselves one last chance of some good times. Ill health haunts them all. They plan to steal sheep, but it isn't as easy as they'd expected. When one of them dies after their first caper, their determination becomes stronger, so they change plans and go into growing cannabis, often with funny results.
