When their father falls off a roof and breaks his leg whilst doing a cash-in-hand roofing job, the Lewis twins go to local bigwig Bryn Cartwright in search of compensation; when none is forthcoming, they set out to gain vengeance, which leads only to a series of escalating, tit-for-tat violent confrontations, culminating in a decidedly unpleasant burial at sea, in this foul-mouthedly and blackly humorous yet rather sour little film.
