- 17, Albion Street is home to three vulnerable adults with mental health conditions. KEVIN is autistic (pathological demand avoidance syndrome), obsessed with bicycles, football, and washing cars for money. He repeatedly tampers with the bicycle of LUKE JONES, Kevin's favourite support worker at 17, Albion Street and whom Kevin considers his best friend. After repeated warnings not to touch Luke's bike, Kevin's meddling finally causes an accident which puts Luke in the hospital. Kevin now must confront the repercussions of his behaviour as he no longer has Luke around to take him bowling, to football games, and to the park to play football. EARL is a paranoid schizophrenic who is in financial debt to a local wannabe gangster, FRANK LYLE, who demands that Earl steal the safe from 17, Albion Street to repay his debts. Frank takes Kevin bowling so Kevin doesn't spoil the plot to steal the safe. Earl steals the safe but instead of giving it to Frank he goes on the run with the safe in the community hiding from Frank and contemplating his next move, and what to do with the safe? Teddy is autistic, non-verbal, and usually wears a mask. He keeps to his room and has problems with human associations, and is fixated by comic books. The manager of 17, Albion Street insists that Teddy leave his room and spend more time in the community. In the local park, with a support worker by his side, he spies a a young boy reading a comic book, snatches it and runs off and hides in the community. He imagines himself a comic book hero and eventually encounters an old support worker of 17, Albion Street, DIANA, whom he trusts and who takes him to her home and he becomes a missing person.

- Resident of 17 Albion Street, care home for adults with mental health issues, Oliver escapes the house, which he is not allowed to do as he is a vulnerable adult in the community. He walks to the local cemetery and says a prayer before an old grave from the Great War then goes to the river and further reminisces in another flashback sequence to his youth on holiday in France when he used to dive off the pier with his brother. Luke realises Oliver has escaped and goes after him and finally finds him at the bus stop and takes him back home. As the evening descends Earl follows Frank's advice to get Kevin out of the house so he can't spoil the heist of the safe. They accomplish this by Frank taking Kevin bowling. We also learn that Earl has not taken his medication. Whilst Kevin is out of the house and bowling Earl steals the safe as the night staff is outside smoking. Frank receives the phone call he is waiting for, outside the bowling alley next to the airport, from Earl, that Earl has stolen the safe. Frank, fed up with Kevin's questions, and no longer in need of entertaining him, then drives off in his car, leaving Kevin to find his way home from the airport. Earl escapes the house with the safe and we see him sitting on the safe smoking cigarettes next to the chemist waiting for Frank.
- Frank returns from Airport Bowls where he left Kevin to find his way home but Earl has not met him at the agreed spot where Earl is to give him the safe so he goes looking for him in the community and ends up in the pub near the care home, 17 Albion Street, where Earl lives.

Kevin calls the home, 17 Albion Street, and he gets a ride back from the airport and knocks on the door to the pub as he sees the lights are still on. Harry the barman lets him in. Kevin tells him the story. And then Frank comes back from the toilet where he is nice to Kevin again as he needs Kevin now to help him find Earl and agrees to drive Kevin back to 17 Albion Street.
