Burger Van Man follows Carl, a down-on-his-luck Burger Van vendor, trying to make the most of what he has. After his father passed away, Carl had an emotional breakdown, which lead him to re-evaluate what he wanted to do with his life. On a whim, he quit his dead-end job and spent his family's savings on a burger van, bought from a guy he met down the pub. Once his wife, Sandra, finds out the financial strain he's put them through, Carl is forced to leave his marital home, his wife and his daughter behind and move back into his childhood bedroom in his mum's house. Carl is left with no choice but to make his new business venture work.
