Directed by Ken Loach, this drama is a gritty and upsetting look at how zero-hour contracts can wreak havoc for some families in Britain. Focusing on Ricky (Kris Hitchen), his wife Abbie (Debbie Honeywood) and their two children, the family have struggled to overcome the impact of the 2008 financial crisis.
When a job arises as a 'self-employed' delivery driver, Ricky hopes it'll be an opportunity to finally get his family back on its feet.
