Eight years ago, Gavin, the artistic son of a Scots-Italian ice-cream dynasty, turned his back on Glasgow and moved south to London to make his name illustrating children's books. Now, frustrated and broke, his Uncle Sal appears with an offer. Gavin's father has sold the family business and to get his share of the proceeds, Gavin must return home for his father's birthday party. Swayed by the money, he sets off north and picks up a hitchhiker with a secret. Their journey is difficult but ultimately rewarding.

00:01Gavin, it's about the rent.
00:03I know you can't afford it this month and that's fine.
00:06I do exist on the brink of Mount Newtriple.
00:08Maybe you should go there.
00:11I'm gonna go.
00:13Tomorrow, 7.30pm in Glasgow, Scotland.
00:27I've got to go to Glasgow, home.
00:30That's where you're headed, isn't it?
00:32Mm-hm.
00:33What would you say to London?
00:34All the way to Glasgow.
00:35I want to thank you for your kindness.
00:38What did you say?
00:41You've got a lovely car.
00:44Some time.
00:46Hard shoulder.
00:49Do your pocket's empty?
00:53Now we're gonna buy more petrol.
00:55Too much older now.
00:57Returning that car was really honest, I mean.
00:59Not many people would have done that.
01:00We could have really used that car.
01:02I thought we both agreed it would be stealing.
01:03It would be justifiable.
01:05Why?
01:06Because all our need is greater.
01:08That is it!
01:10That is it!
01:10You're a dead but low, son!
01:12You're a dead but low!
01:13You always get me into a state.
01:15You make me feel bad and happy and exasperated.
01:19You make me feel mental.
01:20I'm not making you feel anything.
01:22You're making me feel everything.
01:25When I have no...
01:28It's often time.
01:30Hard shoulder.
01:31It's often time.
01:32It's often time.
01:33I don't care.
01:34It's open enough when they want your money.
01:35Oh, yes.
01:36Open then.
01:37Staff banging their heads off the couch.
01:39There's an orgy of openness when there's a sickle in it for them.
01:42Are they open?
01:42Will you need them?
01:48Hard shoulder.
