Summary:

When the enigmatic and well-spoken Donovan Quick arrives at a small Scottish village and takes up residence with the Pannick family, things will never be the same again.


The Pannicks are like any other eccentric and dysfunctional family: Lucy Pannick drinks, her son Jim steals cars, her grandmother forgets to put on her clothes and her learning disabled brother, Sandy, runs model trains in his room all night. When the multi-national bus company, Windmill Transport, takes over the local trains it leaves Sandy with no means to get to his day centre.


To solve the problem Donovan starts up a one-bus company with Sandy to replace the lost service. Against all the odds, the fledgling Quick and Pannick buses becomes so successful that the voracious Windmill Transport decides to poach the route for itself. However, like his inspiration Don Quixote, Donovan Quick manages to thwart Windmill at their own game, galvanising the community and transforming forever the lives of Lucy, Sandy, Gran and Jim in the process.
