When aristocratic Eddie inherits the family estate, he discovers that it's home to an enormous weed empire - and its proprietors aren't going anywhere.
Will he continue his father's business or will he leave. How would his family react, will he be...
The sounds of chaos filled the air as cars honked aggressively, and voices were raised in the distance. Dust kicked up from the road, swirling around a makeshift checkpoint. Men in uniforms moved quickly, directing traffic and pedestrians with urgency. Eddie, the officer in charge, stood near a group of his men, overseeing the operation.
"Finish the cordon by 14:00," Eddie called out, his voice cutting through the commotion. "But otherwise, great work."
"Okay, boss," one of his men responded with a nod, heading back into the fray of the disordered street.
Down the road, men shouted instructions, trying to clear the path for the day's operations. A commotion caught Eddie's attention as he spotted a group of locals herding goats through the middle of the road, blocking traffic. He pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration.
"No, no, no, no," Eddie said, hurrying over to the scene. "Listen to me," he urged, his patience thinning as he addressed one of the men blocking the road. "Tell them I don't care whose goats they are, just get them off the road."
Sergeant Smith approached, trying to calm the situation. "Relax, Sergeant. Hold on," Eddie instructed, motioning for him to step back. "We don't want to cause an international incident over some livestock."
With a wave of his hand, Eddie motioned toward two of the locals. "Right. Gentleman with the mustache, head in that direction, please. Gentleman with the eye patch, head in the opposite direction."
The men stared at him blankly, unmoved by his instructions.
Eddie exhaled, realizing the gravity of the situation. "If we can't sort this out amicably, we'll let the goats decide," he said with a hint of dry humor.
He turned to Sergeant Smith, giving him a stern look. "Don't cock this up."
Smith gave a quick salute. "Yes, sir."
As Eddie moved through the crowd, checking on his men, BOBBY approached, holding a passport in his hand.
"Boss, you all right?" Bobby asked, concern evident in his voice.
Eddie nodded, glancing at the papers. "This man's papers are out of date," Bobby explained, holding them out for Eddie to inspect.
Eddie took a brief glance, his expression nonchalant. "It's only three days," he muttered, shaking his head. "It is what it is."
Turning to Bobby, Eddie handed the papers back. "Tell them they can come through this time, but this time only. Make sure they get it sorted before they return."
"Yes, sir." Bobby headed off to relay the instructions, and Eddie turned toward Smith.
"Smithy," Eddie called out, making his way over.
"Boss," Smithy replied, keeping a watchful eye on the ongoing chaos.
"Everything all right?" Eddie asked, scanning the scene around him.
"All good," Smithy reassured him, though the honking of a nearby horn suggested otherwise.
The cacophony of blaring horns and shouted instructions filled the air. Dust swirled around as vehicles idled impatiently, waiting for the road ahead to clear. Eddie stood at the checkpoint, his eyes fixed on the ever-growing line of cars. Tensions ran high, and his team scrambled to maintain order amidst the chaos.
Eddie scanned the crowd, his sharp gaze catching a glimpse of an approaching truck. The horn blared louder, cutting through the noise. Eddie stepped forward, waving a hand dismissively at one of his men.
"I'm on it," Eddie called out, moving toward the vehicle with purpose.
The sergeant standing nearby hesitated but quickly fell back into place. "No, no, I'll sort this. You stay here," Eddie insisted, waving him off.
