Synopsis

In this British comedy cynicism and disenchantment in relationships comes to the fore: "Do you trust your partner? Do you really trust them? Let us put them to the test!"

Seemingly unhappy in his own relationship with girlfriend Hannah (Jenna Harrison), Jack (David Raymond) hits upon a unique business idea and opens an agency to ensnare unfaithful partners.

Jack and his mates can arrange for some certainty in your life. For a small fee they will test your partner and let you see the results. They're really good at what they do. They've turned their lives around with this business. Jack's got money and the girl he always dreamed of. And only a few people's lives are destroyed in the process...

Who are the real HEROES AND VILLAINS?

Raymond plays Jack, a London lad facing a crisis of confidence. While working as a lowly city estate agent, he cannot believe this is all his life will ever be. He begins to fight the relentless everyday doldrums and dreams of bigger and better things.

So when his flatmate Sam (James Corden - History Boys, Starter For Ten) catches his girlfriend out attempting infidelity, Jack is inspired with a shrewd business opportunity - together with his quirky flatmates, Jack starts a company designed to help doubting partners put their lovers' loyalty to the test once and for all.

Although it has its obvious negative consequences, and some seriously dubious ethics, the relationship wrecking business turns out to be a roaring success. But Jack and his team plough on, thrilled with their new-found lifestyle and sure they are doing the world a favour sorting out the heroes from the villains in each and every relationship they can lay their hands on.

While Jack's friends become increasingly concerned by the moral downsides of their thriving company, Jack thinks he has finally found the woman of his dreams and sees his new found success as a brilliant way to impress her and win her heart, with hilarious results! But will the whole plan backfire and see him lose it all? It turns out that maybe it's not as easy to sort out who the HEROES AND VILLAINS are after all...

From director Selwyn Roberts in his debut feature from a screenplay written by David Raymond.
