Product Description
The Last Chance Saloon is a short story and a black comedy about clubs, drugs and far too many addictions.
It's 2001 and Rod, an American living in London, decides he needs to quit smoking before he hits ‘the last chance saloon’ and turns thirty.
Embarking on a four-week, Stop Smoking Challenge seems like the perfect start... until he meets Troy, a reckless, drug-fuelled Londoner. Rod is swiftly introduced to the city’s night life, its women, and the illegal highs which begin to occupy his every waking moment.
A business card leads him to Carla Stevenson; a Psycho-analyst, who Rod believes might be his chance to become clean. Instead their liason initiates a turbulent and chaotic threesome between Rod, Carla and cocaine.
As Rod’s life descends into madness, he tries desperately to cling onto his one last hope that if he can keep the cigarettes from his lips, then he can somehow keep his sanity.
The Last Chance Saloon depicts the birth of the new millennium where the hope and optimism created by a tidal wave of economic growth were echoed in the energy and vibrancy of the clubs… and where the wealth and financial freedom of a generation was swallowed up in their own chemical excesses.
