About

Heroin addict Mark Renton stumbles through bad ideas and sobriety attempts with his unreliable friends --Sick Boy, Begbie, Spud and Tommy. He also has an underage girlfriend, Diane, along for the ride. After cleaning up and moving from Edinburgh to London, Mark finds he can't escape the life he left behind as Begbie and Sick Boy come knocking.

A frantic, kinetic energy pulses through every frame as a group of heroin-addicted friends spirals through the neon-lit grime of Edinburgh. This jagged portrait of addiction captures the manic highs and hollow lows of a life lived entirely on the edge.
