Free from the cares of dreary office work for the day, five friends gather at a London flat for a pleasant evening's poker.

All John wants is a few beers, a few laughs and another wasted day. All Dennis wants is to quote lines from The Cincinnati Kid as many times as possible. All Tim wants is to understand the rules of this baffling game.

Mike and Pete? All they seem to want is to get at each other. There's some agenda between them which is spoiling the flow of the cards and getting on everyone's tits. John's going to get to the bottom of this - then perhaps they can get on with not thinking about anything important.
