Synopsis

Josh Strachan has it all. His own electrical business, a beautiful girlfriend and a monopoly on the electrical work in the sleepy Scottish village of Glen Leven. Until London electricians, Nathan and Karl, arrive to do a rewire on the psychiatric hospital. Josh suddenly finds that his golden goose has been mortally wounded and one by one starts to lose his business, his girlfriend, his friends...and most importantly his mind. Wreaking revenge on the English outsiders only alienates him further, and he ends up digging a hole for himself that even he can't get out of. His only hope is bent copper PC Gordon who shares his dislike for the outsiders and has a vested interest in trying to protect Josh from the long arm of the law. But even Gordon knows this time Josh has gone too far
