At 29, he bets £500 he can stay clean for a year. His friend and fellow addict, Cravat, supports him while facing his own struggles. Cravat's resolve is tested at his friend Philip's stag do, filled with posh friends unaware of his addiction. To maintain appearances, Cravat brings Billy, hoping his friend's determination will help. Complicating matters is David Boom, a local gangster seeking the £500 Billy stole for the bet.
