The film follows Connemara emigrants in London who make a living fly-tipping. In the 1980s as Thatcher's entrepreneurial friends were demolishing buildings almost as fast as they were constructing new ones, tons of rubbish would be carried to designated sites outside the city causing chaotic and time-consuming traffic conditions (very unprofitable!). Enter the fly-tippers! these men and their lorries didn't waste time in traffic, they found the nearest empty space for dumping, the local authority had to clean up the mess, the builders and contractors turned a blind eye.
