Set in Burnley, this feel-good British comedy drama follows Dave Fishwick, a self-made van and minibus dealer who decides to open a community bank so local people and small businesses can thrive. He teams up with a cautious London lawyer and takes on powerful financial institutions that have not approved a new banking license in over a century. The tone stays warm, funny, and upbeat as a local underdog challenges distant elites to put ordinary customers first.
