It is a mockumentary, following a day in the life of Michael, a 50-year-old "superhero". Michael is able to identify "criminals" of whom have littered in the streets, simply by touching the rubbish. Noble Michael builds his life around it: Every morning, he walks the parks and streets of Ealing, grabbing as much rubbish as he can manage, spending the rest of his afternoon returning the litter to unsuspecting villains everywhere. Because of his strange capacity, Michael feels very lonely and rejected. But on this special day, he is going to meet Cathy, a 30-year-old woman who seems to have super-powers too.
