The series follows the five loiterers Richard Batsbak, Rikkert Biemans, Gerrie van Boven, Barrie Butsers and Robbie Schuurmans in the North Brabant village of Maaskantje. They behave in the style of the happy hardcore culture, drink daily cans of Schultenbräu beer, eat snacks at the local snack bar 't Pleintje, especially bakpao sandwiches, and they drive around their village in their green Opel Manta.
