Ambrose is not like other people. But he has made a resolution. From now on, he's not going to kill anyone. Even if they aren't quite as polite as they should be to his adored wife, Helen. But when their home is threatened with demolition, everything changes. The whole system seems stacked against him - unscrupulous property developers, double-dealing planning officers, corrupt politicians. The girl whose name he cannot remember will provide him with the ammunition he needs - but at a price. And then Ambrose faces the ultimate test - to save the rectory, can he bear to be unfaithful to his beloved Helen? Confronted with all this, is it any surprise that all his good intentions go flying out of the window?
