Fatso (Stephen Rea, The Crying Game) is the proprietor of what may well be the worst chip shop in Dublin, a hectic, often dangerous takeaway in the heart of the inner city. A decent man in a difficult world, Fatso struggles to keep his late-night business afloat as he battles a chronic gambling addiction. With only his useless staff (Simon Delaney, Grattan Smith, Kerry Condon) for company, Fatso continually plays good Samaritan to an assortment of city deadbeats seemingly able to save everybody but himself. As his debts spiral out of control, Fatso makes increasingly dangerous bets, leading to an endless succession of losses. A steady stream of loan sharks and debt collectors (John Kavanagh, Ger McSorley, Willie Higgins) arrive in search of payment and Fatso drifts closer and closer to disaster.
