Manny dreams of being a big dog. Right now he's just hocking fake designer goods, living with his mum and putting up with her annoying new boyfriend. The glittering skyscrapers of Canary Wharf out there through the window have never seemed so far away.
So when his best friend offers him a way to make unimaginable amounts of money, it's impossible to ignore. And soon Manny is pulling his family into a whole world of trouble.
