Danny is in trouble. A wannabe animal rights activist and modern day hero, none of this was supposed to happen. After his first attempt at animal liberation ends badly, things go rapidly downhill. In the supermarket where he works his behaviour is becoming more erratic and a number of people, including his boss (a big Jim Davidson fan), a Goth grocery girl (and also teenage poet) and a security guard (enough said) are all out to get him. The woman he loves, Shona, is becoming more extreme by the minute and when they hook up with some hunt saboteurs she's more interested in digging up human graves and stealing the remains than saving foxes. Danny doesn't waste his time at the hunt either - thanks to him the fox gets torn to pieces. It's treble or nothing time, and next week the Circus is coming to town.
