Five British best friends are living for the weekends. The sexually paranoid Jip (John Simm) works at a clothes shop. His black buddy Koop (Shaun Parkes), an aspiring hip-hop DJ, sells discs at a record store and Koop's girlfriend, Nina (Nicola Reynolds), who failed to enter college, works at a fast food joint from 9 till 5. But the daily sight of burgers literally makes her retch and she quits her job. Lulu (Lorraine Pilkington) is an independent blonde who doesn't think much of men. Moff (Danny Dyer) is the only person who doesn't work. He earns money by supplying his friends with drugs. The director presents the viewer with the characters, depicting youth's fears, complexes, and lack of self-confidence. The link between them is that they hate having to work. They are all obsessed with sex and find an outlet in drugs, drinking, clubbing, and dancing to wild music. The only way to escape from the humdrum of their daily lives, their dead-end jobs, and the establishment is to try to relax during the weekend turned into an explosive mixture of house music, sex, ecstasy and marijuana.
