Carol Bailey is buckling under the weight of financial pressure, family responsibilities and his own ambition and desires. After endless parties, too many dead-end jobs and family arguments, Bailey becomes Self-Destructive. Resorting to violence and severing all ties of friendship and love, Bailey enters a world where his friends are unable to follow. After a self-imposed exile Bailey returns to London to apologise, things have changed. Not everyone is sympathetic to his sudden re-appearance and there are others who will stop at nothing to make Bailey’s life a living hell. Faced with a relationship lost amongst affluence and drug-fueled parties, Bailey must accept his own limitations and confront the demons of his past.

In a vain attempt to raise cash, George uses Sophie's holiday money to fund an ill judged deal.
