Best mates Eddie, Tom, Bacon,and
Soap are cocks-of-the-walk in
and around the East End. And why
not? They're virile, handsome lads
who can hold their own. With this
lot, it's all for one and more for all.
So, everyone stakes Eddie, a sharp
cardshark, for the biggest card
game in town. Eddie can't lose...until
he does: the game is a setup.
Fleeced, Eddie finds himself and
his mates in debt to the game's host,
never-to-be-crossed underworld boss
Hatchet Harry, for a whopping
£500,000. If the money isn't
on Harry's desk in a week, then Eddie's
fingers (to start with) will be,
thanks to fearsome debt collector Big
Chris. Unless Eddie's father, JD,
forfeits his popular bar to his old
adversary, Harry. Not bloody likely!
So, Eddie and the boys put their
heads together and brainstorm a
caper that will enable them to pay off
Harry and make out like... bandits,
as it were. The foursome keeps
focused on the big grab, even as
all hell breaks loose around them,
when a rogues' gallery of miscreants
gets in their way. The gang of
four finds more big-time trouble,
and craziness, than they ever
imagined. To save their skins, they'll
have to demonstrate that rare
trait: honor among thieves. However,
making good use of the two
barrels of that pair of vintage
shotguns couldn't hurt...
