Further details

For once, Nicky and Steve find themselves on the same side as the rest of the village. The locals are united in their opposition to a proposed fracking scheme. It will disrupt the community, destroy the beautiful countryside, and - most importantly from Nicky and Steve's point of view - mean that they will never be able to sell their house and escape the rural hell that they're stuck in.

When locally based rock star Grizzo is persuaded to organise a fundraising gig for the anti-fracking campaign, it begins to look like the protestors will win, but then an unexpected development presents Nicky and Steve with a major dilemma.
