Six Bend Trap

Synopsis

Danny is a victim of circumstances, embroiled in a decade-long feud between a ruthless businessman and an ex-greyhound trainer. He and his two pals are trapped by both sides, and thoughts of escape are futile. They can die tomorrow or chance a few more months, the latter being the best option. Northern comedy at its best.
