Hoping for a big profit, card shark Eddy and his mates Tom, Bacon and Soap pool their hard-earned cash to stake Eddy in an illegal card game run by Hatchet Harry.
But the game is a setup, and not only does Eddy lose the £100,000, he leaves owing Harry half a million – consequently, he starts losing his fingers as collateral a week later.
Alternatively, Eddy’s dad, JD, can cancel the debt by handing over his successful bar lock, stock and barrel to his old adversary, Harry.
Their efforts to raise the cash lead to a helter-skelter ride through London’s gangland underground.
As extreme chaos breaks loose, Eddy and his friends realise they’re out of their depth, and must find a way out before they, too, are among the casualties.
Tagline: A disgrace to criminals everywhere.
