Bob, le personnage principal, vit avec sa femme Anne et sa fille Coleen dans une banlieue misérable de Manchester. Lui et son ami Tommy se débrouillent du mieux qu'ils peuvent pour vivre dans la Grande-Bretagne des années Thatcher. Le film dépeint la précarité de la société anglaise à l'époque, en montrant tous les emplois que Bob est forcé d'exercer, allant de la revente de viande au marché noir jusqu'à être vigile dans une discothèque. En dépit de sa situation pour le moins précaire, Bob tient par-dessus tout à acheter une robe de communion neuve pour sa fille, afin de ne pas perdre la face devant le voisinage. Dans ce combat pour la dignité de sa famille, il va prendre de terribles risques, se heurter à la cupidité et à la violence mais aussi redécouvrir la fraternité et la solidarité.
