After being dumped by his girlfriend, he moves back in with his mother Stephanie (Kim Basinger) and her new boyfriend but gets on with neither of them. His only solace is rapping with the group of DJs and MCs who go under the name of Three One Third.

Arriving on the sun-drenched Mediterranean island for the first time in 20 years, the now middle-aged men soon rekindle long dormant emotions, causing Donna (Meryl Streep) to revisit her past glories. Finally, 'Shaun of the Dead' (2004) follows Shaun (Simon Pegg), a useless but likeable thirty-something who works in an electronics shop in Crouch End.
