Mark is a junkie. His stomping ground is a dreary part of Edinburgh, and his grey everyday life revolves around the next fix from morning till night. One day, he believes, he will get off it, but with broken friends like Sick Boy, Spud and Begbie, that's impossible. Whatever he tries, he fails miserably, until one day the chance of a lifetime presents itself - in the form of two kilos of his favourite powder of the very finest quality.
