Danny Boyle's cinematic masterpiece Trainspotting is based on the novel of the same name by Irvine Welsh and tells the story of a group of young heroin addicts in Edinburgh. A pop culture phenomenon that perfectly sets the scene for the 1990s in Scotland and its drug scene on the fringes of society.
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.
