Porno
The Trainspotting lads are back. and in worse shape than ever.
In the last gasp of youth and after numerous failures in London, Simon "Sick Boy" Williamson is hack in Edinburgh. He taps into one last great scam: directing and producing a porn film. To make it work, he needs bedfellows: the lovely Nikki Fuller-Smith, a university student with ambition, ego, and troubles to rival his own; old pal Mark Ronton, who owns a club in Amsterdam; and a motley crew that includes the neighborhood's favorite ex-beverage salesman, "Juice" Terry.
In the world of Porno, however, even the cons are conned. Sick Boy and Ronton jockey for top dog. The out-of-jail and in-for-revenge Frank Begbie is on the loose, still harboring hatred for Renton for getting away with the cash from a long-ago drug deal. But it's the hapless, drug-addled, sweet Spud who may be spreading the most trouble.

scheming, still scamming, still fighting for the first-class seats as the train careens at high velocity with derailment looming around the next corner.
