Twenty years after betraying his friends and fleeing to Amsterdam, a man returns to Edinburgh. He finds his old friends: Sick Boy is blackmailing people, Spud is battling heroin addiction, and Begbie has just escaped from prison. His return forces them all to confront their past betrayals, their addictions, and the unsatisfying realities of their middle-aged lives.
