A tragicomedic murder mystery about a bunch of senior friends pulled out of their comfort zone into a world of both sporting and criminal skullduggery. Set against the parallel story of two lovers caught by menacing forces intent on destroying them both.

Walking Zeds FC, a walking football team of unfit pensioners are driven by one thing - saving their social club from being demolished by a pushy developer.

But nobody wants to see their one-time friend, Tony Ackersby, back in town. He's fresh out of jail after serving 25 years for murdering his actress ex-girlfriend, Estelle Aurora. She's none other than the nation's sweetheart and a seemingly angelic TV nun to boot.

As fate conspires to bring Walking Zeds and Tony ever closer to one another, can they work together to save the club that is the heartbeat of their little community? In doing so, confronting villains ate every turn, can they finally prove Tony's innocence?

In the small town of Slainsworth, many secrets lay buried deep.
