Fletcher pays his first visit to his parole officer to break bad news about his domestic circumstances: when he gets home he's surprised to discover eldest daughter Ingrid has taken up with his old cellmate Godber and son Raymond barely speaks to him. But even these woes can't keep Fletcher's mind from getting to his buried nest egg.

Fletch's off to his first visit to his new parole officer and he has to break the news that not everything is as it seemed before he left prison. There is no job to go to and no loving wife waiting for him.

Instead there is eldest daughter Ingrid and surly, time-obsessed son Raymond. Oh and Ingrid's surprise house guest, Fletcher's ex-cellmate Lennie Godber.

But Fletch's mind is on a buried 'nest egg' and his plans for its retrieval. Ingrid isn't happy about it but he's determined to get his hands on the loot. Will the family's surveillance be enough to stop Fletch, will his conscience get the better of him, or will something else stand between man and money?
