A once-violent Edinburgh tough who has reinvented himself in California as a successful artist and family man is forced back to Scotland after his estranged son’s murder, where grief and old grudges drag him into a relentless hunt for the killer; as the polished façade cracks, the brutal instincts he tried to bury resurface, blurring the line between redemption and revenge in a escalating spiral of blood, loyalty, and self-deception.

A decade after their turbulent youth, a group of dysfunctional friends from Edinburgh are drawn back together when one of them resurfaces after absconding with the group’s money; another tries to reinvent himself by producing low‑budget porn to regain status and fortune, while a violent figure returns bent on revenge. Their intersecting schemes and betrayals expose darkly comic and brutal truths about addiction, masculinity, social decay, and how the pursuit of quick cash corrodes old loyalties.

Four aging friends from working-class Edinburgh reunite after years apart and find their lives have taken bitterly different turns: a one-time heroin addict back from exile, a scheming bar owner, a struggling alcoholic, and a dangerously violent ex-con. Their attempt to recapture youth and settle old scores spirals into darkly comic misadventures, criminal schemes and brutal confrontations across Scotland and abroad, forcing them to face addiction, betrayal, mortality and the consequences of their past choices.
