✦ Synopsis

Si is 28 and unsure of what he wants--in his job, his love life, even just for dinner. The only thing he's certain of is his friendship with Jimmy, a late-twenties professional footballer in a career he fears has stalled. Through their uncertainty and just plain lethargy, the two men anchor each other with regular catch-ups at their local, The Feathers.

But little do they know that The Feathers is more than just a great place for a pint and a chin-wag; it's also a hub for a London-based IRA cell. Plans are being formed--dangerous ones--while Si and Jimmy drink away their quarter-life crises. And just as the guys start to get everything figured out--against the roller-coaster backdrop of Manchester United's Double Double season, and the media and politics of mid-1990s Britain--something happens that threatens to blow it all up.

In Pieces --the thinking man's Bridget Jones's Diary.
