After making serious waves in 2016 with their grime banger, Man Be Flexin', Shella (Iain Gordon) and XEN1 (Ren Boateng) are plummeting fast, following a series of bad record deals and a few cheap hits. Now in 2023, ATM must fight to protect their legacy and keep up with the latest trends, which is tricky when your bank balance has lost a couple of zeros. Championed by their trusty fixer Plugz (Priscilla Fagbemi) and filmed by Cameraman, Jackz (Ameziane Aissaoui), the five-part comedy 'documentary' intended to reel off ATM's accolades, instead reveals a string of embarrassing scenarios the boys find themselves in. In a world where flex is king, ATM are skint, and it's normally up to their long-suffering manager Clara (Lola Jagun) to bail them out. The series taps into universal themes of ambition, greed, ego, unfulfilled potential and unpaid hire purchase bills.
