Exploring the shocking daily reality of life for some of Britain's most prolific criminals, the first episode focuses on two criminals who couldn't be more different, but both are prolific offenders with lengthy records. Jason 'Stokesy' Stokes is a brazen serial offender who is open about his criminal endeavours and proud to be a 'one-man crime wave'. On the other hand, drug addict Becky is ashamed of what she does. Nationwide there are a hundred thousand Jasons and Beckys committing over 500,000 crimes a year. They're causing ordinary law-abiding families misery, clogging up the criminal justice system, filling up the jails, and costing the country millions.
