The Packers are coming! Welcome to the criminal blunder-world of Barking In Essex!
After seven years in jail, delinquent villain Algie Packer, freedom finally beckons. After carefully stashing away £3.5 million in cash, Algie is looking forward to a life on the outside. But over those preceding years, there was something his family forgot to mention…
You’ll fall in love with the Packers – the dysfunctional Essex crime family. Will they manage to cover their tracks before Algie returns from the clink?
