A scam that started with a car crash, designed to line pockets, backfires badly. A greedy claimant uses a burglary as an opportunity to exaggerate his claim, while friendships are tested as skint students resort to fraudulent measures. Business partners bending the rules are caught out by social media, a motorcyclist entangles himself in a web of deceit, and a sprinkler scam leaves an opportunistic fraudster in deep water.
