Twin Town Plot Summary

What happens in Twin Town from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 13 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Set against the winding coastlines of Port Talbot and Swansea, the Lewis family saga centers on two brothers living in a caravan with their parents and sister Adie (portrayed by Rachel Scorgie). The elder brother is Jeremy Lewis (portrayed by Rhys Ifans); together with his sibling, he spends his days joking around, dabbling in drugs, and stealing cars, all while poking fun at Adie and her job at a local massage parlour. The backdrop is a working-class world where pride often collides with trouble, and the boundary between mischief and violence becomes dangerously thin.
