Skagboys follows Mark Renton in the 1980s as his family starts to fracture and his life swings out of control, with heroin as his way out, while his friends Spud Murphy and Tommy Lawrence face troubles of their own. T2 Trainspotting brings Renton, Sick Boy, Begbie and Spud back years later, with Sick Boy returning to Edinburgh after a long spell in London. Dead Men’s Trousers centers on an international jet-setter who manages DJs and is rocked by a chance encounter with Frank Begbie, from whom he has been hiding for years.
