Three St Andrews University graduates gorge on magic mushrooms and develop career paths as terrorists, kidnap vulnerable elderly people, perform crude heart surgery to extract minscule amounts of plutonium from heart pacemakers in order to threaten the government with a 'dirty bomb' extortion plot, in rat-infested tunnels 200 feet under central London. As you do...
If Hunter S Thompson, Thomas De Quincy and Flann O'Brien could have got together to write a crime comedy this would be it...
Drug-addled caper, with an overpowering sense of claustrophobia, that races along like an express train... on a disused Victorian line.
Cast List: Victor Emerson, a former Young Tory Monster; Philip Quinn, a psychopathic Trotskyite; Dave Edwards, a married Art History graduate who happens to be employed in a nuclear power station and is the only 'normal' one (he's the one narrating the story).
Brought together by their lust for psilocybe mushrooms, the three oddballs crave untold riches and a lazy, exotic beach lifestyle.
Almost by accident they hit on the perfect plan... As they count their ill-gotten gains, everything begins to go wrong. Their conspiracy rapidly disintegrates into mutual suspicion, treachery, murder - and revenge.
'An anarchic comedy of terrorists as stoned bunglers whose strategy seems to have been gleaned from the pages of the Beano.'
Genre: General Fiction
