The Wests are a one-family crime wave with a proud tradition of fraud and petty theft - until now. When patriarch Wolfgang West is sentenced to four years in jail, his wife Cheryl decides enough is enough; the family are cleaning up their act and going straight. But can the Wests live up to Cheryl's resolve and stay out of crime? It's not easy to be a saint when you have the DNA of a sinner.
Outrageous Fortune is a bold comedy-drama about a dysfunctional but loving family that can't stay out of trouble, especially siblings Van, who only wants to be like his dad; 18-year-old Pascalle, who wants to be Rachel Hunter; and anguished 15-year-old film buff Loretta, who is blackmailing her teacher for having an affair with older brother Jethro, and remains ever-scornful of her blonde, beautiful sister. A daring, fresh series by turns bawdy, action-packed, satirical and trashy, this is cutting-edge contemporary drama.
