Storyline

Life could not get any worse for depressed postman Wayne Taylor. His wife has left him, taking their two children and the dog, and his efforts at speed-dating, with a woman with a bad stutter, leave a lot to be desired. He does his back in when he slips over on a fish and chip carton, making his round the more painful. He decides that he must get away to the sunnier climes of Grece and, to this end, he opens some of the letters addressed to wealthier areas on his round and steals any money he finds in them, which leads to another postman being suspected. He is spotted by Damien, a 15-year-old school truant, who is illiterate and yet is canny enough to know what Wayne is doing and get himself cut in on the scam. Wayne derives some positive in helping the boy to learn to read, but their friendship is considered unhealthy by some and all the time Wayne is feeling more and more guilty about his actions. Will he ever make it to Greece?
