“Life is like a rollercoaster ride, full of ups and downs…”
So says Tom Grey, a man who has been on a down for longer than he cares, or dares, to remember. But as his 50th birthday approaches, he feels a burning need to experience an 'up' again, to recapture his lost youth, to feel like he is living, not just existing, to make a memory.
He needs an adventure; but if he is to achieve all that he wants to, this can't be any old adventure; it has to be the proverbial “big one”, or, perhaps, even the actual Big One.
The feel-good factor rides high in this gentle, young-at-heart, British comedy about the misadventures of four friends who are old enough to know better, but who refuse to grow up, unless they can do it without growing old!
