PlotIn a small English village, a recently widowed woman finds herself in dire financial straits after her husband's untimely death and the revelation of his unpaid debts. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she discovers that her late husband’s gardening enthusiast friend, who struggles to keep his own crop of cannabis plants alive, has been secretly growing marijuana. With creditors closing in and her plant cultivation skills unmatched, she sees a unique opportunity to save her home from foreclosure. She decides to collaborate with the gardener by using her expert green thumb to cultivate a successful crop and sell it to pay off her debts.
The unlikely partners embark on this daring venture, transforming the greenhouse into a thriving marijuana farm, which soon becomes the talk of the village for reasons they try hard to conceal. As they navigate the delicate balance of keeping their operation secret from the town's curious residents and police, they encounter numerous comedic obstacles. However, as their plans unfold, the pair face unexpected complications threatening to unravel their scheme. The desperation to keep their endeavor hidden while dealing with quirky locals and unexpected allies forms the foundation for a heartwarming comedy about friendship and reinvention in the face of adversity.
