With the looming threat of devastating welfare reforms known as Independence Credit, a fulltime carer plots a sensational heist from the Houses of Parliament in a bid to halt the scheme in its tracks, and bring the government crashing down with it.

Set against the backdrop of a flailing British government on the verge of losing power, full time carer Sadie and her sister Emily face destitution if Independence Credit becomes law. Forging an unlikely alliance with disgraced cabinet minister Michael Harrington, she devises a plot to steal a salacious "dirt book," kept by the ruthless government Chief Whip Damian Wilson, in a bid to leak its contents to the press and unleash a wave of Westminster scandal. With the help of Sadie's university friend, former activist Abi and her nephew Jason, Sadie and Harrington embark on an audacious plan; to bring down the government, and stop Independence Credit in its tracks. Channelling the spirit of classic Ealing comedies, this entertaining caper with a social conscience couldn't be any more timely.
