Streetwise charmer Eddy (NICK MORAN) walks into the biggest card-game of his life carrying a £100,000 stake into which he and his three mates Tom (JASON FLEMYNG), Bacon (JASON STATHAM) and Soap (DEXTER FLETCHER) have invested their hard-earned cash. Eddy is the sharpest card shark on the circuit but the game is a set-up. Eddy leaves owing the game's host Hatchet Harry (P.H. MORIARTY), half a million. Harry gives Eddy a week to come up with the money before he starts losing his fingers as collateral. Alternative Eddy's Dad, JD (STING) can cancel the debt by handing over his bar, lock, stock and barrel to his old adversary, Harry. While Eddy and his mates conjure up schemes to make a lot of money very fast, Harry indulges his penchant for valuable antique shot guns and sends a couple of scouse petty crooks to steal a pair from a hard-up aristocrat. A helter-skelter ride through London's gangland ensues as the guns go astray and become part of a huge booty of cash and drugs which Eddy and his gang intercept from a violent bunch of thugs in order to repay Harry. Other luminaries of London's lowlife such as debt collector Big Chris (VINNIE JONES) and Barry the Baptist (LENNY MCLEAN) get involved in a melee which even their menace can't handle.
