Scenes show his mural paintings in various locations, including Oldham and the Crescents of Hulme, the artist at work in his studio and riding around terraced streets on a motorbike. Includes interviews and commentary with Kershaw, as he discusses the state of residential architecture, his involvement in community arts projects (shown through the use of still images) and complaints from the council regarding his mural paintings.
