When Matt, a neurotic burned out 30 something London Executive, and his long suffering wife Stacy swapped their daily Tube commute for a new life in the Benidorm sun they didn’t expect to move in next to a vegan serial killer.

Matt had a plan to open a sports bar, but the plans take a back seat when their new super fit neighbour Andy dies unexpectedly. Shocked by the sudden death and the apparent lack of grief demonstrated by Andy’s Husband and Master of Disguise Marcus, Matt and Stacy suspect foul play and investigate. Marcus, a man driven mad by his multiple personas, catches Matt sleuthing in his bedroom but his paranoid mind believes that he is being investigated by a famous TV Detective. Marcus flees Benidorm to avoid the clutches of the law. He almost gets away with it until Matt and Stacy spot him by chance in a neighbouring town. They follow Marcus to a villa in Altea Hills where they witness a gruesome murder.

Following Marcus to a pet food factory, they see him disposing of the bodies of his victims. Matt grabs a vital pice of evidence, but before Matt can take the evidence to the police he is kidnapped by Marcus, disguised as the Janitor. The ransom note left for Stacy reveals his demand .... a showdown with the famous Detective Columbo
