A black immigrant to Ireland, Curtis has been subject to years of micro-aggressions. He has had limited opportunity to climb the prestigious career ladder as he would like. Yet finally, Curtis is hugely proud of his new authoritative role as TV Licence Inspector. This is a chance to impress and win back his ex-girlfriend and finally get the respect he has been denied throughout his existence. So naturally, when Curtis is partnered with an incompetent and easy-going inspector who has been in the job for six years, his world and expectations of the role are turned upside down. To make matters worse, the two have been summoned to collect fees on a remote island full of tricksters.
