Left hopelessly in debt by the death of a feckless spouse, Grace Trevethen (the expert Brenda Blethyn) puts her gardening skills to good criminal use. With the help of her handyman, Matthew (Craig Ferguson, who is also the film's co-writer and producer), she starts growing pot by the kilo in her greenhouse.
