Notorious New York loan shark Mr. Thigo (Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson û GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN', THE RIGHTEOUS KILL) arrives in London to make an example of Nick (Tamer Hassan û THE BUSINESS, LAYER CAKE), a reformed ex-con who owes him ú100,000. Given just 24 hours to come up with the money, and with his wheelchair-bound mother being held hostage by Thigo as collateral, Nick enlists the help of his best friend Bing (Danny Dyer (DOGHOUSE, THE FOOTBALL FACTOTY). In a race against the clock, Nick and Bing embark on a quest that takes in the dog tracks of London's East End and the underground drug scene of Manchester, attempting every scam they know in order to get the money back to Thigo.
