Als ein Golfball ihn fatal am Kopf erwischt, verändert sich sein Leben radikal. Derweil verwickelt sich Garys Bruder Lee in immer kriminellere Machenschaften: nach zu vielen vermasselten Drogendeals gibt Gangsterboss Ranta Campbell ihm einen letzten Job, um seinen Hintern zu retten.

GARY is a sweet and decent man. Only two things would improve his life - having children with his gorgeous wife Pauline, and a lower golf handicap. Both are unlikely.

PAULINE is wondering how she ended up living in an ugly little house, driving a second-hand car and making a living dressing up as Tinkerbell. She´s planning to leave Gary for a self-made carpet millionaire.

FINDLAY, the Carpet King of Scotland, wants to trade in his obese wife for a younger model. But if he goes for a divorce she´ll take him to the cleaners. If only there was some way she could be made to disappear...

LEE, Gary´s luckless brother, has botched one too many drug deals. Local crime overlord Ranta Campbell gives him one more job - one last chance to get it right. Lee´s done some bad things - but murder?

When Gary gets smashed on the head by a golf ball and miraculously develops an absolutely perfect swing, everyone finds their fates rest on the final day of the Open Championship...
