Think sex, drugs and mobility scooters for this Kiwi comedy about Murray (Tony Barry, Goodbye Pork Pie), a former cop who has to go deep undercover inside a retirement village in a last-ditch attempt to nab the one that got away: his ageing criminal nemesis, Frank (John Bach, Madril in Lord of the Rings).
The cast also includes Ilona Rogers (I'm Not Harry Jenson), Elizabeth McRae (Go Girls), Sara Wiseman (The Cult) and Ian Mune (The Insatiable Moon).
