The Demolition Block Party is about four ex-junkies and alcoholics--Grant, Lefty, Bob, and Sue--who are existing through their dire social circumstances, having been made to survive and live on benefits and handouts in the most desperate of situations whilst in a somewhat vain and eager attempt to try to prove and justify their reasons for living upon a council estate with no real prospects of a certain future. Then they find themselves in the vain hope of reaching a redemptive point of deliverance through their testimonials as assessed by Mr. Selby, along with their dealings with the local council and social services, only for them to struggle in maintaining their well-being and to reach a positive conclusion or outcome by simply expressing themselves through the trials of their haphazard reality and lifestyle and for their point of view to be realized with some kind of recognition and reconciliation back to humanity.

Also, the council property that they all inhabit and dwell within this derelict community is under threat from being demolished, which is challenging for their unique friendship and experiences together as they come to understand and realize that if they do not change by themselves, then circumstances beyond their control may force change upon them. As Lefty, Bob, and Sue all look up to Grant as being the main source of leadership amongst their peer group, it is left to Grant to figure a way out of this mess and to somehow find the meaning of providence.
