'Get Fat is set in 2009, in the heart of the global financial crisis. Tasmanian Hans Brady, hard on his luck returns to his old haunt of Ladbroke Grove, West London, where he hits on the idea of a get rich quick plan. In search of old acquaintances, and easy money, he slips into a world of borderline criminality, drugs, and violence, that threatens to spin out of control, and bring him down with the city. A tapestry of characters: a DJ fixated on murder, the last child of the Spanish Republic of 1939, the gigolo son of diehard Ulster dissidents, and the untameable charlatan and chancer Hans Brady, reveal life on the periphery of tough times.'
