Ensconced in the largely Greek neighbourhood of an inner-city Melbourne suburb, Steve (Nick Giannopoulos) is a good-natured larrikin whose life revolves around hanging out with his mates at the pizza parlour, posing at the local nightclub and hooning around in his cherished '69 Valiant.

When Steve finds himself branded as Australia’s biggest dole bludger on national television, he sets off on a personal crusade to restore his reputation and prove his worth to the whole nation and to Celia, the girl of his dreams. If this isn’t enough, he’s also got to keep the crazy antics of family members and friends in check.

A comedy about love, politics, sex, religion, culture, cars and pizza. But not in that order.
