Chris Small has been lying low for seven years, keeping his nose clean after a previous entanglement with the police. Then one day he meets Edie, a waitress with a talent for playing blackjack. Thinking he might be on to a good thing, Chris agrees to become her playing partner, and together they hatch a plan to outwit London's casinos. But Chris doesn't know that a shadow from his past is looking for him - with the intention of maybe breaking a few of his limbs. In this follow up to the acclaimed 'Smalltime' Jerry Raine again takes us into the world of ordinary people, who use extraordinary means to break free from the shackles of their mundane lives.
