Plot

Raj and his friends are tired of being "errand boys" at the bottom of London's criminal food chain. Ambition leads Raj and his friends into the middle of a gang war between two of the biggest drug lords in London: Gabbar and Isaac.

Realising the consequences of his actions, Raj seeks refuge in the countryside with an old friend, Tony. Based in an old abandoned farm, Tony runs the largest pirate DVD manufacturing operation in London. To elude capture, Raj and his friends are forced to submerge themselves in farm life.
