Davy and Mike are always getting themselves in to trouble - usually with the police. When they get their hands on a load of dodgy fireworks, it seems like no big deal. They never imagined that posting one into a deserted building could blow it up. There's only one thing for it. RUN! ... but as they're running from the scene, they are spotted by a couple passing by, Kelly and Shaw.When the couple offer to help, by taking them to the countryside and hiding with them in a cottage until it all blows over, Davy and Mike can't believe their luck. In the space of a week, they find themselves happily living together, and it's almost like the loving family they never had ... except it's not. They quickly realise that something more sinister than they could have imagined is going on, and, as events unfold, it seems like their lives will never be the same again...
