Ted is a northern comic who's seen better days. Working class, irascible, gregarious, he always has to be centre of attention. His ambitious, upwardly mobile and humourless son Daniel couldn't be more different, and relations are strained. On the day of his birthday, Ted turns up unannounced and uninvited to his son's dinner party, and sets in motion an explosive and surprising chain of events which force father and son to see their relationship in a whole new light.
