John Evangelou is surviving.
After losing his home to gambling debts, he takes on a dodgy delivery job for Aziz, the gangster boss of a local snooker hall.
Things are looking good. The money is rolling in. A new home for him, his wife, and unborn child is in his sights. But, one night, things go badly wrong. A slick gang of thugs mug him of the delivery and leave him for dead.
He wakes up in hospital, faced with his irate wife, and an even more irate boss. Aziz gives him an ultimatum; get the delivery back by the end of the week or suffer the consequences.
But who are the gang? And what do they want the delivery for? Who’s the violent, mysterious Yardie who shows up in a hail of bullets when John gets close to his muggers, and how does he fit into things?
Why is he seeing weird stuff all around him since waking up from his sedated coma; horns and haloes superimposed on everyone’s heads?
In attempting to answer these questions, John quickly gets caught up in a tangled web of gang bangers and desperados, who themselves are also participants in The Survival Game…
