Benny's back. To visit the friends he knew, to find the girl he loved, to be the man he could have been. But Zac, Jacko, Bisto and Flea have changed - they're a bunch of bumbling 'wannabe' criminals who sit around all day, arguing about the Royal Family, playing music and eating repellent fast food.
Determined to make sense of his life, Benny begins to piece together the fragments of his past. The clues lead to Claudia, the girl from his childhood sweetshop. Posing as a telephone engineer, Benny realises she is blind and that Dwayne, the local villain, is holding her captive.
To make matters worse, Benny's friends have hatched a hair-brained scheme to rob the sweetshop safe, where Dwayne stashes his ill-gotten gains. Now, to Benny's horror, they want him to join them in their criminal master-plan.
Seeking solace, Benny returns to Claudia's flat and vows to help her escape. But Dwayne and his cohorts attempt to lynch him. In a heart stopping scene Zac, Jacko, Bisto and Flea come to Benny's rescue at the last second.
Now, as the stakes are raised, Benny is obliged to join his friends criminally illiterate raid on the sweetshop. Dressed as members of the Royal Family they raid the sweetshop, but Benny turns on them and snatches the cash believing that Claudia is entitled to it. Pursued by his friends, Benny rescues Claudia and tries to make good their escape.
In a powerful climax, Claudia gets her revenge on Dwayne and Benny learns the true power of friendship. They wake the next day to new-found love, a bag of money and the most unexpected of miracles...
FAST FOOD is an off-beat, witty and moving story of a simple man on a collision course with his complex past.
