Gary, Martin, Julie and Gary's Auntie Margaret all set out to his Mum's favourite beauty spot to scatter her ashes, but find that it has changed a lot since they used to go there.
Gary needs to come up with a back-up plan - but he is distracted by a series of mysterious phone calls that not only annoy his Aunt and Julie, but also manage to offend his Dad on the worst day possible.
