Synopsis
After the marriage with his second wife (Stephanie Bishop) breaks down, Eric Bishop (Steve Evets) feels hopeless as he simultaneously faces caring for two step-children (Lucy-Jo Hudson, Gerard Kearns), a post office job that he hates and a short spell in hospital after a car crash. When he smokes marijuana one night, he has a vision of his favourite football player, Eric Cantona, who begins to give him life coaching.
