Steve Timms's story about a group of four student friends three years after graduation begins with a break-up as Susan tells a shocked Martin, as he is about to achieve success as a popular local poet, that "it isn't going anywhere". Susan works in an office sorting examination papers but is struggling to pay the bills, so a work colleague suggests a well-paid sideline that would utilise her 'acting' skills. Adam works in an off-licence but sells a few pills on the side and believes he has a glowing future a a stand-up comedian when he gets round to doing something about it. Stick does some deejaying, but when his dad falls dangerously ill he has to borrow money to visit him. Martin's poetry, however, makes him a local celebrity with appearances on local and national television and his poems on the sides of buses.
