Now living in Amsterdam, 46-year-old Mark Renton suffers a heart attack in a gym.

Simon "Sick Boy" Williamson has stopped using heroin but abuses cocaine, engages in blackmail schemes with his Bulgarian girlfriend, Veronika, and runs a failing pub that he inherited.

Veronika's intervention saves Renton, who then produces a package, giving Sick Boy back his original share of the money.
