Ken and Lorna are looking forward to seeing daughter Rachel again when she returns from her gap year, but are surprised when she introduces them to her new husband - travelling hippie and huge goon Cuckoo. Ken struggles to find something to like about his new son-in-law before being pushed into a somewhat radical course of action.

Ken is over the moon when he is picked to become a local councillor. Cuckoo is full of advice, as politics is his special subject. But Ken is devastated when Dylan kicks a guy in the testicles and unwittingly ruins everything. Can wise Cuckoo pull Ken out of his hole and get him his dream back?
