Jess needs to find a new job or risk not being able to do what she loves and has trained the last two years for.\n\nBean and Tom are best mates who are working out whether life in Redcar is for them. Bean has found love and is enjoying life with his new girlfriend, and Tom doesn't like being away from Redcar and hasn't been abroad since he was a kid. When an exciting job offer abroad comes their way, they have some tough choices to make.\n\nDonny, a 23-year-old plasterer, is being mentored by Steven, a millionaire businessman who, having made it, wants to see other people in Redcar prosper.
