Marching Powder

Synopsis

Jack Jones, mid-40s, has six weeks to turn his life around - he needs to save his marriage, kick his drug habit, and quit fighting at football or he’s going to prison. His friends just want the old Jack back, even if it means the end of his marriage... Temptation lurks around every corner – particularly when Jack’s unhinged brother-in-law, Kenny Boy (recently discharged from a mental hospital) is nearby. Can Jack overcome his demons in time, or is he heading for jail?
A 'romantic comedy’ about addiction, violence, and happy endings.
