Nick Sharman's daughter Judith has returned to Scotland and nothing will tempt him back into the business again... unless it's Ray Miller. Miller, a Lottery rollover double-jackpot winner, wants to find the wife who left him. This should be a simple task for Sharman, giving him easy money and evidence for Judith that he's trying to get his life together.
When Miller's wife, Sharon, turns out to be a whore addicted to heroin supplied by her pimp, Sharman's fate appears to be sealed. The news of Miller's new-found wealth has brought out south London's worst villains, the most unpleasant of whom - Adult Baby Albert and Mr Freeze - decide the best way to get what they want is to use Sharon to prise it from Miller. And Sharman, the patsy, is primed to take the fall.
