It’s 1985, Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher are in power, Sade is on the radio, and the print workers have gone on strike. But nothing, not even a scale eight earthquake can put a dampener on a group of close friends that meet every Sunday in their regular South London pub for a pint and free-flowing banter of the highest order. Set against the backdrop of a changing way of life, as Rupert Murdoch moves the printing of his newspapers from Fleet Street to Wapping, this is a tale of seven close friends, who embark on a unique journey that eventually leads them to gamble all of their savings on a single race.
