Mark Renton, a young drug addict from Glasgow, is something of an antihero of the mid-1990s. His daily life consists of a sordid mix of sex, drugs, rock music and football, with the occasional bruise and bloody nose thrown in. He spends his days roaming the city, partying hard, taking drugs and playing dangerous pranks, while also watching trains. He is joined by a colourful group of friends: the Sean Connery-obsessed Sick Boy; the dim-witted Spud; the psychopathic Begbie; Tommy, a clean-living athlete with a curiosity about drugs; and 14-year-old Diane.
