Storyline
| Plot Summary |
"Gettin' Square" is about starting over, keeping clean, and going straight. Barry Wirth is fresh out of prison and determined to stay on the straight and narrow. But like his mate Johnny 'Spit' Spiteri and reformed-gangster-turned-restaurateur Dabba, he finds out the hard way that old scores and a few new ones will make gettin' square a lot harder than he thought.
