Father Gerry is a priest with a past, a desperate man who needs some fast cash to get himself out of yet another fix. This need drives him towards his favourite betting shop where once inside he finds himself trapped with a collection of characters he has sorely wronged in his past life. These people relish this chance visit and go out of there way to remind him of some previous errors unbecoming of a man of the cloth. Unfortunatley for the priest his need for cash is greater than his need to save face,he's stuck there for the duration of one race, a race that will change the lives of the two main protagonists for ever.
