Madchester

Mickey is a bit too old to appreciate modern pop music, but he gets dragged into this strange new world because of a link to a former colleague in the Security Services. His pal Eddie is now the Manager of a dynamic combo which is rapidly becoming the hot new name in the North West of England and he is taking them on a tour of Europe. He mentions to Mickey that there might be an opportunity for him at a nightclub in the middle of Manchester. Mickey can't see himself as a bouncer, but when he loses his current job, he decides to give it a try. Strangely, the repsonsibilities fit in well with his skill set and he finds himself more or less at home in the music scene. His cheery new life comes smashing to a halt, however, when his pal Eddie comes back into his life, beaten and battered. Now it's personal, and Mickey brings out his other talents, employing his dogged reliability and his latent aggression. He isn't about to take any prisoners, and he isn't going ot let any jumped-up thugs take advantage of him or the people he values. There is a terrific climax as a battle breaks out. Who will be the last man standing? It's a foregone conclusion.
