Synopsis[]
The Wests are a one-family crime wave with a proud tradition in thievery, larceny and petty crime. Or at least they used to be. At the beginning of the first series of Outrageous Fortune, family matriach Cheryl West decided enough is enough - the family must clean up their act and go straight.
But it hasn't been easy for Cheryl, keeping the family together when outside forces threaten to tear them apart.
The West family's relationship with the dodgy Greegan siblings continues to raise eyebrows: Pascalle is engaged to Nicky while Van has shacked up with pregnant Sheree. There's a new cop in town threatening everything Van holds dear and forcing him to do what a West should never do. Jethro, Loretta, Nadine and Hayden form, an unlikely business alliance while Pascalle follows her dreams of becoming a successful bag lady. Ted and Ngaire prove old is the new young and Munter and Kasey prove there's more than pme way to make a baby. Judd fights for his family, old and new, as Cheryl might be about to lose everything she loves most.
