Summary
Carl is a fortyish no-hoper who takes a job as a cook in a seedy nightclub to escape his cantankerous mother. A flirtation with fetching barmaid Sophie -- who is engaged to the nightclub owner -- lands Carl on the wrong side of a viscous bouncer but when attacked by his drug-dealing Turkish kitchenhand, Carl inflicts a grievous form of self-defence that sparks a deepening gangland feud. His best mate Dave is soon employed as Carl's protector -- and gravedigger -- as a band of cutthroats block Carl's path to his bartending sweetheart.
