Once Upon a Time in the Midlands

A small-time crook returns to his hometown to win back his ex-girlfriend's heart after she rejects a nationally televised marriage proposal from someone else.

Jimmy, a petty crook from the Midlands, returns to his hometown after years away, seeking to reconnect with his past, particularly his ex-wife Shirley and preteen daughter Marlene. His arrival coincides with a television talk show appearance by his family and friends, including Shirley, who rejects a marriage proposal from her live-in boyfriend Dek. As Jimmy tries to rekindle his relationships, he finds himself in a rivalry with Dek for Shirley and Marlene's affections, while also facing a confrontation with his old Glasgow friends, who are seeking revenge for his betrayal during a recent heist.
