Quiet and mild-mannered Charlie Price (Joel Edgerton - Star Wars, King Arthur)) finds himself the unlikely heir to his family's Northampton shoe factory after his father's sudden demise. He quickly discovers that without new orders, bankruptcy looms. All seems hopeless until he meets Lola (Chiwetel Ejiofor - Dirty Pretty Things, Love Actually), a sassy cabaret star, who convinces him that there's another, rather more niche market out there….a long way from men's classic brogues. With trepidation, but spurred on by feisty, factory worker Lauren (Sarah Jane Potts), Charlie enlists Lola's help to diversify and make erotic women's boots for a male market. Lola's arrival at the provincial factory is greeted with ridicule and animosity, but the hapless but lovable Charlie ploughs ahead with Lola, who hiding her/his own insecurities, takes charge of design and employs some of her show-stopping bravado to help win over the workforce and bring the boots to life.
