Broke Londoner Mart's midlife crisis takes a frightening turn as he discovers the reason his pal Nick always comes out on top. Mart - who was jilted at the altar years ago by Hayley - grew up overshadowed by the womanizing Nick. Their last caper landed them in prison for insider trading, a crime for which Mart, the innocent party, received the longer sentence. And now Nick's come up with yet another wheeze - seances. Swallowing his guilt about conning the bereaved, Mart goes along with the plan. As the life-changing truth of the connection between the two men unfolds, Nick disappears inside a disused snooker hall and Mart - who is still missing Hayley - is buffeted by forces he'd never imagined.
